I help people learn and grow through making things. 

I design experiences, materials, projects, content, and kits that foster lifelong learning, creative confidence, and curiosity about the world.

My expertise weaves together years of facilitating hands-on learning experiences in out-of-school spaces like science centers and makerspaces, graduate-level education and research experience in design, learning, and technology, and a personal practice as a maker, crafter, and DIYer. 

I believe that learning is a lifelong, joyful process that happens in all kinds of places and spaces. I’m excited about the learning that happens when folks create or make something whether it’s a sketch of a plant or a pair of pants. No matter what your skill level is or how the end product turns out, making can be a powerful way to build agency and a sense of “I can do this!”. 

​

I currently run the Makerspace at CSU Spur and teach undergraduate design classes by way of the Richardson Design Center.  

 

In the past I’ve worked as a maker educator at the Boulder Public Library Makerspaces, CU Science Discovery, and the Science Center of Iowa. I’ve studied and designed creative and community-engaged experiences with technology with the Creative Communities group and Laboratory for Playful Computation at CU Boulder. Past residences and fellowships include a residency with the Tinkering Studio,  Research Fellowship with AIMS Center for Math and Science Education, and the DaVinci fellowship at Atlanta International School. I’ve also enjoyed bringing my unique perspective to research and development at Apple, the design team at Chibitronics, and to Open Sci Ed’s Ecosystem Interactions & Dynamics unit.
