Computer Science and Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan
I'm interested in research in computer science, HCI, and cognitive science.
I'm currently a research assistant at the University of Michigan's Social Computing lab working to learn more about how people use AI for meaning-making through the lens of tarot/divination.
My prior research experience relates to programming language design and development at FPLab, as well as social media influencers & careers at the University of Michigan School of Information.
I'm passionate about art and design.
I've spent the majority of my life making art in my
spare time, and even as a hobby I've always strived to
make a positive impact with my work.
Recently, I've been doing a lot of journalistic
illustration at the Michigan Daily--
check out some of my recent
design work here!
