I find purpose in studying compassion-driven problem solving and finding ways to humanize technology (at Parsons School of Design). 

My approach to human-centered design is a futurist one. I believe technology is a tool for speculating about how things could be and a tool for imagining possible futures. 

I currently work as the managing editor of Poets & Traitors Press and volunteer for an international meditation non-profit. In my free time, I serve as the Vice President of the United Nations New School Chapter and study Russian literature.
