I'm an information designer & textile artist living in Brooklyn, NY.

I translate bureaucratic information to help alter people’s relationships to power. I research “publicly accessible” information produced by bureaucracies and translate this information into new forms so that more people can access, engage with, and learn from it.

My goal is to prompt new ways to think critically about the structures around us and work towards future bureaucratic structures that support all people.

My work includes:

    • Information design

    • Plain language

    • Language access,

    • Accessibility

    • Usability testing

    • Weaving

    • Quilting

    • Collage

    • Play

    • Investigating metaphor

    • Building tools

I currently work on the same goal of increasing access to civic information in my role as Design Lead at the Center for Civic Design, where I work alongside elections offices and civic engagement organizations to make elections easier to run, support innovation, and encourage broader participation.
