  • about
    I'm interested in using design and technology to convey important information and support cool people. Currently, I build technological products to various ends. I've built reporting infrastructure for fashion brands and media studios, data visualizations for journalism outlets, and digital designs for style editors.

    In the past, I worked as a researcher across tech, academia, and government domains. I researched topics ranging from climate change mitigation and renewable energy policy to artificial intelligence usage.

    I graduated from Northwestern University in 2018, where I studied economics, computer science, and environmental policy. I wrote an honors thesis there too: The Distributional Impacts of Real-Time Pricing.
