About

As a choreographic designer, what motivates my research is a conviction that embodiment in digital settings matter, with the awareness that the extent to which it does depends on how bodies are mediated and understood − culturally, computationally, and politically.

 
 

I am a choreographic designer working in the domains of human-computer interaction, data representation, and dance. The body is often my site for investigation and intervention in the realms of design and performance. My current work explores how choreographic interfaces can increase the kinetic and spatial interactivity between humans and technological systems. In addition, I research how scientific datasets can inspire humanitarian responses via a performative process that I call data embodiment. Presently, I am a Principal at metaLAB (at) Harvard, an experimental arts, humanities, and design lab comprising scholars, designers, artists, and technologists. With metaLAB, I research how choreographic interfaces and data embodiment can be developed toward both functional and aesthetic ends. I am also a Lecturer at the Corcoran School of Arts & Design at The George Washington University where I lead courses in interaction design.

In 2020, I graduated with distinction from the MDes, Technology program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Prior to this, I performed professionally with dance companies based in New York, San Francisco, and Montréal, including Hope Mohr Dance and José Navas/Compagnie Flak. With these companies, I had the opportunity to tour across North America, Europe, and Asia. Highlights included dancing at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Oslo Opera House. As a solo artist, I had the privilege of performing at Korea’s Modern Dance Festival and the Beijing Dance Festival via my platform, Linsdans.
