Profile
Curious, empathetic, and collaborative designer with a passion for complex systems in the context of Human+AI relations.
I write 📝 at ResponsibleDesign.club and curate 🚴‍♀️ adventure plans at Pedalnyc.org
Things that I'm always pondering about:
• How can we employ human + AI partnership to enable systematical changes meaningfully and mindfully?
• With an explosive amount of data and information at our fingertips, how can we sift out useful signal from all the noises?
• How might we hold ourselves more accountable and responsible from the technologies we create? How do we measure both positive and negative impact?
