I'm an information worker, writer, and artist with more than 10 years of experience in libraries, archives, art, and public media. I'm passionate about digital archives, all things data, equity-centered pedagogy, critical making/experimentation, public infrastructure, and computing's impact on climate change.
curious about my past work or interested in collaborating?
