About
I am a PhD student at the School of Information at UC Berkeley. My research focuses on the interplay between technology, handcraft, and the creative communities around them. By designing and studying new creative tools, I study how information technologies impact the process of creative handwork. I also investigate how the digital augmentation of handcraft products affects people’s relationships to the products and producers of handwork. Before coming to Berkeley, I worked at museums for three years, most recently at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL. In the museum environment, I developed interactive tools for the creative exploration and presentation of data. I hold a B.F.A in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Chicago.
