About

I am a user experience engineer and human-computer interaction researcher with a background in technology entrepreneurship. I enjoy uncovering human perspectives and translating them into delightful interfaces. Through over five years of practice, I have designed and engineered key user interfaces for several digital products. My current mission is to understand the merits of digital sandboxes, like Minecraft, and to make these experiences accessible to blind and low-vision children. This focus occupies both my academic work and industrial interests.
