I study, design, and build technologies with marginalized communities to dismantle barriers and seek social justice. My work takes place at the intersection of community, technology, and advocacy, and I am particularly interested in understanding and challenging structural marginalization materialized through current and emerging technologies.
I am a fan of Afsaneh Rigot‘s Design From the Margins approach and frequently shift my focus between community research, intervention development, and social advocacy, depending on the needs of the community and the stage of the engagement. My current work looks into stuttering and telecommunication technologies, investigating the experiences and challenges of people who stutter with telecommunication technologies such as videoconferencing tools and speech AI products.
