The thing that drives me is curiosity about people and the media artifacts that come from our collective desire for meaning. I study how people make sense of information, how they navigate uncertainty, and how the systems we build shape that process in ways we rarely intend.

That tension between what systems can do and what people actually need is where most of my work lives. My background spans HCI research, UX design, visual culture, and data analysis. I don't conform easily into any single box, and I've found that's an advantage.
