THE BASICS

I am a design researcher and PhD student at Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. I'm advised by Jodi Forlizzi and Haakon Faste, and I study topics related to the inheritance of digital information and the process of creating meaningful digital archives.

Prior to enrolling at Carnegie Mellon, I studied Engineering Psychology and Computer Science at Tufts University.
