I am an Associate Professor of Design at Umeå Institute of Design and a Digital Futures postdoctoral fellow at Stockholm University. I live in Umeå, Sweden with my partner and two children.

As a designer and researcher, I am interested in situations where technology is often considered out of place, such as in outdoor environments or intimate settings of care. 

As an educator, I believe in student-led learning environments, and promote critical thinking and learning-through-making.

Originally from Knoxville, Tennessee, I have a BS in Architecture from the University of Virginia, a MFA in Interaction Design from Umeå Institute of Design, and a PhD in Interaction Design from KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
