Research-led interaction design for a world in motion

Playing the Kitchen Queerly

Virtual domesticity, Critical gamification, Queer design history

For my MFA thesis, I designed a virtual chat room in the form of a kitchen. Through the design decisions I made and engagements I conducted, I asked how this function of the space has been uniquely salient in queer domestic history.

Tools: Unity, Cinema4d, Secondary research, Interviews

Unwrapping Space

Computational photography, Relational space

This project used the process of algorithmically assembling long tracking shots of different journeys through space to look at how my and others’ experience negotiating them over time could be visualized. It was based in Mexico City and began with a class prompt to investigate the dizzing shifts in scale across which the city operates.

Tools: Python, OpenCV

AR information architecture, AR UI patterns

I designed a mobile app that made furniture buying more like browsing an AR-enabled newsletter and less like navigating a warehouse. My prototype tested UI patterns for bookmarking and managing multiple items in AR.

Tools: Figma, User interviews, Personas, Clickable prototype

Google Drive Versioning

Creative collaboration, Project management

I designed a simple feature for managing file versions and giving creative directors a heads-up view of deliverables, all without leaving Google Drive. The tool was designed for creatives at small studios.

Tools: Figma, User interviews, Personas, Clickable prototype
