About

My title is incorrectly displayed. Please address me with Mx or just by my first and second name.

I research marginalised perspectives on embodied computing through a lens of Critical Access. My work informs design and engineering supporting the development of technologies that account for the diverse realities they operate in. In my interdisciplinary collaborations with neurodivergent and/or nonbinary peers, I conduct explorations of novel potentials for designs, methodologies and innovative technological artefacts.
