Research
My research explores critical feminist design of technologies for the intimate body and the social and environmental ecologies it entangles. My PhD work draws from feminist posthumanities to explore how to design for experiences of menstruation, fertility, sexual and reproductive health in ways that uplift embodied, sensory and material knowledge. I am interested in fabrication with textiles and biomaterials, and bring together participatory and speculative approaches.
˖⁺‧₊˚✧ I am looking for postdocs and assistant professor positions starting summer/fall 2026
I am excited to work with: feminist HCI, more-that-human design, textiles, biodesign, intimate and reproductive technologies, research through design, critical making

“Yes, some new technology emerged once everyone was permitted a decent education. But there was no trick to it. No quick fix. The problem wasn’t technological.”
“What, then?”
“I told you. People just decided to take care of each other.”
― N.K. Jemisin, Emergency Skin
“Technology is not neutral. We’re inside of what we make, and it’s inside of us. We’re living in a world of connections — and it matters which ones get made and unmade.” ― Donna J. Haraway, 1997.
“I think of feminism as poetry; we hear histories in words; we reassemble histories by putting them into words.” ― Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life
