Welcome! This portfolio website contains some my work as a designer specializing in how people experience and interact with spaces, places, products, and each other.

My educational background is in both computer graphics (BA, Digital Visualization from The Design School at Arizona State University) and interaction design (Master of Science in Design, also from ASU). Most of my work uses computer models throughout the design and prototyping stages.

Having been born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, much of my research is focused on bringing a design thinking perspective to issues that impact the city and its people: ‘sense of place’ in suburbia, social isolation, access to multi-modal transit, sprawl repair, water conservation, and desert urbanism. My graduate studies included several projects with the Phoenix Urban Research Lab (PURL), including the Desert TULIP project (Temporary Urban Laboratory Infill), CanalScape, and Digital Phoenix, a trans-disciplinary study which fused virtual reality technology and urban design.
