I’m an interdisciplinary designer working across the education and children’s media spaces. I spend my time bridging the gap between learning science, game design, and user-centered design to develop innovative solutions that delight while hitting learning goals.

I'm currently exploring ideas around role-play, constructivist play, and repair as a grad student at Columbia.

In my spare time I volunteer as a Program Coordinator for the Children's Media Association, write for the Ludi Studio blog, rock climb, and sew.
