I'm passionate about art and design.

I've spent most of my life making art in my spare time; I've explored many different media, and have found printmaking and digital illustration to be my favorites.

Previously, I did journalistic illustration as a Lead Illustrator at the Michigan Daily.

                            on one side and a city on the other side. 
                            The illustration is colorful and cartoonish.

As an undergrad I engaged with research in computer science, HCI, and cognitive science.

My prior research experience relates to how people apply AI towards subjective tasks and sense-making (Social Computing Lab), how social media influencers impact self-employed workers' perspectives and goals concerning their careers (STEP Lab), and programming language design and development (FPLab).
