WORKS

Being a designer and a multidisciplinary researcher means constantly learning and working across disciplines, code-switching between academic and community spaces, and jumping from prototyping in the field to producing scholarly work.

Here is a selection of the community-based design and practice and research initiatives I have started or have been part of across the fields of Participatory Design (PD), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Science, Technology, and Society (STS), and UX/UI design (UX/UI).

Diversa ︎︎︎

We are a design collective focused on co-designing rural infrastructure. We provice access to free, high quality technology design education in support of self-determination projects.

Citational Justice ︎︎︎

In this project we investigate the question: how do you choose the works you cite when producing knowledge, and what does that choice entail? We do this through workshop facilitation and highly collaborative public writing.

International Development Design Summits︎︎︎

Hands-on design experiences that bring together people from all walks of life to create low-cost, practical innovations to improve the lives of people living in poverty.
