I am a transdisciplinary designer, researcher, and PhD student in Information Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. My research sits at the intersection of critical HCI and digital archives. With over a decade of experience in architecture and UX design, I investigate how participatory design and ethical technology can preserve community memory.
I serve as the strategic lead and point person for a cross functional student teams, architecting the Agile roadmap and overseeing the iterative design process for the Stacked Mentorship Program, a platform that redesigns mentorship that fosters deeper relationships, growth, and real.
I design and facilitate interactive workshops to co-design harlemdigitalarchive.com, a community-centered living digital archive for Harlem, by Harlem.
I coordinated the integration of data, services, and UX strategies to create nfaac.org, a digital archive of the Apalachicola Florida Hill community.
I co-taught fundamental data analysis concepts and tools, including Excel, Tableau, SQL, and Python to cohorts of 16+ students.
I led, designed, built, and launched DMU's website redesign in anticipation of DMU's guest-edited edition of Architect Magazine, hosted collaborative design workshops, and coded final designs using CSS & HTML.
