I am a designer and qualitative researcher focusing on understanding and conceptualizing technology experiences that support health and wellness among older adults and individuals with disabilities. My research employs design as a catalyst for health equity and socially responsible technology experiences. I explore these concepts through community-based participatory design and co-creation methods. My work uses culturally tailored design to expand technology access and constructs of empowerment among marginalized communities.​

I am an Assistant Professor in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University where I also have a courtesy appointment in the School of Design. I am also the Director of the Equity and Health Innovations Design Research Lab.​
