About me

I’m an artist, designer, and educator making technologies of attention. Across interactive installations, connected objects, curricula, and community platforms, my work explores how meaning moves across humans, machines, and the more-than-human world, and how design decisions shape what we notice, remember, and care for.

Born in New York, I studied Art-Semiotics and Computational Biology at Brown University and hold an MFA in Emergent Digital Practices from the University of Denver: all fields with something to teach about the nature of information, memory, code, and relationality. I joined Andrew Henderson and Steve Lewis in developing the world's first wearable luminescent biosensor, a now patented technology awarded at the 2017 International Biodesign Challenge at MoMA, and was an Arte Laguna Prize finalist that same year for Breath Vessels, my interactive installation which translates human exhalations into 3D-printed clay vessels.

To me, tools teach: every object or every interface is also pedagogy, shaping not only how people interact in that encounter but the sensibilities they carry away from it. I served on the faculty of Inworks (now the Smart Futures Lab) at the University of Colorado Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus, and prior to that designed and directed a suite of creative technology learning spaces at Denver's tri-institutional Auraria Library.

In 2023 I founded CHROMAKAIROS, a design and fabrication studio that proposes a more humane, creative vision of technology. Our work restores a generative relationship between people and their tools, specializing in NFC-enabled objects, mapping and wayfinding, and learning design. Rooted in a storefront lab in the Stadera district and in the life of its surrounding neighborhood, the studio operates on the conviction that technology at an intimate scale can be among the most powerful instruments of encounter.
