I am from Washington, D.C. -- a city where politics shape daily life and policy conversations echo through every neighborhood. Growing up surrounded by institutions of power sharpened my interest in how systems are designed -- and for whom. I’ve always believed that the most pressing challenges, from climate injustice to displacement, are design problems in disguise.

My curiosity and commitment to improving services have taken me from D.C. to New York, Havana, London, and Cape Town, where I’ve worked across cultures and disciplines to explore how design, policy, and storytelling can shift public systems. I’m particularly drawn to questions of interconnectednes -- how emerging frameworks like posthumanism and pluriversal design push us to reimagine our responsibilities, not just to each other, but to the planet we share.

I see design as both a tool and a responsibility: to surface what’s invisible, challenge what’s inequitable, and build what’s urgently needed.
