Current Quests ⋆｡°
Good design is sometimes invisible. It signifies the difference between a system that constrains and extends people. The best interfaces don't just respond to people, they think with them.
I lead ACM as President, direct Citrus Hack and Cutie Hack, serve as a Campus Leader at Notion, and engage further through campus and international initiatives. I'm currently researching HCI for systems by designing interfaces that hold up in different environments.
My current rabbit holes: cognitive load in interface design, space systems, what it means to design for cognition under pressure, and whatever I find at the bottom of a good cup of tea.
