I am currently an M.A. candidate in the Global Thought program at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, offered by the Committee on Global Thought. My research develops interdisciplinary frameworks for understanding abstraction, modernism, and the institutional conditions that shape cultural production. I write about these ideas and other systems design concepts on my blog.
I hold a degree in Transdisciplinary Design from the School of Design Strategies @ Parsons School of Design, where I explored design as a vehicle for social and cultural transformation. My design work has been exibited at the CICA Museum in South Korea and The Untitled Space Gallery in New York City, as well as in print in DROME Magazine and Untitled Magazine.
My intellectual formation has also been shaped by four years of study and service within a global Buddhist nonprofit. I endeavor to bring the Buddhist view of the wisdom and compassion all living beings inherently possess into everything I d0- professionally and academically.
