Designer, educator, and researcher focused on communication design, embodied experience, and relational dynamics across human, nonhuman, and synthetic systems. I explore how digital experiences can enhance understanding and connection through nonverbal and nonlinguistic communication across species and mediated environments. My research integrates user experience design with investigations into communication within and across species—including human, animal, and artificial agents—to develop compassionate and meaningful relational tools that interface empathy and foster connection.
