About Me:

In addition to being a first-year HCI/d Master’s student at Indiana University (IU), I am the Media Assistant at IU’s African American Arts Institute and the owner of Fusion Productions, a company specializing in live audio/video recital recording and concert/dance/wedding photography. I love music and I love to eat. I am currently looking for an internship for Summer 2010.

 

How and why I am in design:

I’ve always been interested in technology, particularly in the arts and home realms. I had the occasional design idea, but didn’t know what to do with it until now. Being in the HCI/d program has shown me where my ideas could be cultivated, and how my position allows me to empathize with users in an empowering way.
