I’m a creative technologist and design engineer with BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. My work lives at the intersection of engineering, design, and storytelling, driven by a love of hands-on prototyping and creative problem solving.  Whether it's robotics and wearable technology, to immersive experiences and playful STEM products, I thrive in the early, conceptual stages of R&D, where imagination is translated into tangible, interactive experiences.

​

I’ve designed large-scale interactive game installations for the FIRST Robotics Competition in collaboration with Disney Imagineering, co-developed wearable EEG technology for UNIT9 and Ford, and led mechanical R&D for hybrid physical-digital products at Chibitronics, an MIT Media Lab spin-off.

Alongside industry work, I write and illustrate books that introduce young readers to the creativity of science and engineering, including Hex Allen and the Clanksmiths (The Innovation Press, 2022) and the graphic novel series Maker Girl and Professor Smarts (Candlewick/MIT Kids, 2025).
 

Across every project — whether advanced robotics or playful paper-based interactions — my focus is the same: blending technology, design, and storytelling to make magic.
