I am an artist-technologist and create electronics and software-based media art. My works often focus on political issues within tech culture, including gender representation and online privacy. Besides making and exhibiting technology-driven art, I write scholarly articles that contextualize my own work and the work of others. Some of my notable recognitions include an Art+Technology Lab grant from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and a Best Paper Award from the ACM Siggraph Art Papers Jury.

At the Honors College, I teach computer programming and game development. I teach technology from the perspective of a cultural practitioner. So, rather than asking students to find solutions to pre-defined problems, I assign open-ended creative technology challenges that require creativity and critical thinking鈥搉ot just technical skill.
