I am a designer-maker-researcher.

I study and design for the relationship between wild animals and man-made systems. I believe design has an important role in reconciling human development with the natural world. I make things that can be used by both humans and other species; shared landscapes that responds to the needs of both human and nonhuman species. I make things that can be used to study wild animals in their natural habitat. I use somatic practice to gain an animal's perspective of the world. I like to play around with digital manufacturing technologies and I am interested in design as a means for transformation.
