I’m a freelance mechanical design engineer, STEM content creator, and children’s author-illustrator with a passion for combining technology, art, and storytelling.

​

I received an MS and a BS from MIT in mechanical engineering, where I focused on product design. Before moving abroad, I worked as a mechanical engineer and visual artist for FIRST—a non-profit that runs robotics competitions for students. I've also worked as a mechanical engineer at Eiratech Robotics in Ireland and led the mechanical design on a project to integrate a race car helmet with EEG. I love working on early-stage concept design and unique projects that bridge the gap between art and engineering.

As a STEM content creator, I work with clients or independently to design products, content, and experiences for the EdTech industry. You can learn more about my work here.

​

My books include Hex Allen and the Clanksmiths (The Innovation Press, 2022), a middle-grade STEM fantasy quest and The Adventures of Maker Girl and Professor Smarts (Candlewick/MIT Kids, 2024), a STEM-themed graphic novel.

When I’m not building robots, drawing cartoons, or championing STEM, I love hiking and rambling at length about my current favorite book, usually at the same time.
