I'm a Data Visualization Researcher and Designer
My work has a strong focus on user experience, data literacy, and user engagement. I design systems that help people understand and discuss data.

I worked as data visualization engineer for the Social Dynamics Team at Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge, UK. I was an intern with the HCI & Visualization team at Autodesk Research in Toronto, Canada.
I was Creative Director Digital at sinnwerkstatt focusing on user experience and user interface design. I am co-founder of Thinkfarm Berlin, a Living Lab for co-working and socio-economic change.
