From Production to HCI
I started my HCI journey in the back of a classroom at Toronto Metropolitan University. I took a class with Dr. Ali Mazalek on Embodied Research and Design. From that moment on, I knew that this is where I wanted to be. I had 3 years of producing media content, from documentaries, to live concerts under my belt, but found an interesting way to bridge my creative and technical knowledge with my newfound love for HCI research. Every since, I have been immersed in the vast space of Human-Computer Interaction.
About
As a Master's student at Carleton University studying Human-Computer Interaction, I work at the intersection of tangible interfaces and data-driven systems. My research focuses on creating interactive, engaging ways to teach harsh and dark topics, such as Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion issues, particularly in STEM education. I enjoy moving between prototyping and study design: building interactive tools, testing them with users, and iterating based on how they actually think, feel, and work. Across projects, I’m driven by a core question: how can we design interfaces that not only function well, but also make technology more understandable, trustworthy, and humane?
Alongside my research, I have a strong media production practice spanning documentary, educational, and experimental projects. I’ve worked across the production pipeline, from concept and development to cinematography, editing, and delivery, often collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and real-world partners. I’m particularly interested in stories that sit at the edge of science, culture, and lived experience, and I treat every project as a chance to translate complex ideas into engaging, emotionally grounded narratives. Whether in a film, interactive piece, or installation, I always think about how form, rhythm, and framing shape what the audience understands and remembers.
