Hi, I'm
I'm a researcher, maker and creative thinker studying digital economies of 'trash' through decolonial feminist economics, STS, and art.
I am a researcher, maker and artist currently pursuing a PhD at Georgia Tech. Throughout my academic research and industry internships I've integrated mixed methods research with hands-on programming and making. My doctoral research merges ethnography, participatory design and creative engagements of computing technologies to understand and reimagine algorithmic ecosystems in secondhand economies. My parallel research interest is the creation of tangible computing artifacts for creativity in education. Below are a few projects that showcase these aspects of my practice.
