Welcome!

I am a M.Design candidate at Carnegie Mellon's School of Design in the area of Information Design. Areas of design that I'm most interested with include the presentation of data, typography, experience, Dutch art and design history, design thinking and the liberal art of design. My direction is always being rewritten and my place in design always being reëvaluated. Other interests include technology and society, politics and current events, cities and urban sociology, photography, travel, writing and creative non-fiction, genealogy, environmentalism, cycling, and milkshakes. I’m a New Yorker but cheer for the Red Sox. Browse as long as you'd like and drop me a note to say 'hello!'
