I am a creative technologist, fabricator, and researcher working at the intersection of art, technology & design. I am currently double majoring in Computational Art & Human-Computer Interaction @ Carnegie Mellon University. My practice centers on data collection, net art, and archiving, with a deep interest in building playful, whimsical, community-oriented corners of the web.

As the web grows more prominent, genuine community shrinks, replaced by the superficial over the authentic. I push back against that. I like collecting--- data from people, objects, fashion. For me, a collection becomes a curation, and curation creates intimacy between my work and the people who encounter it.

Data has long been entangled with theft and surveillance, making people wary of being vulnerable or truly themselves online. But I see data differently--- as a human footprint, a personal story of who someone is and where they've been. My work tries to reclaim that, creating spaces where people feel safe enough to leave a trace.
