Welcome!

I'm an interface researcher interested in how technology can support deeper understanding and playful discovery.

I've done research at NYU focused on creativity support tools, developed interfaces at Midjourney and worked as an interaction designer alongside Hugh Dubberly.

With Andy Matuschak, we designed Latticework, a text editing environment aimed to help people synthesize freeform, unstructured documents.

If my work resonates with you, this is a standing invitation to reach out!

I've been really enjoying the process of making interfaces recently. It feels like craft to me, like shaping clay or any other material.

2024 will mark the year that I decided to sit down and master my craft ā€“ digital material design

Really enjoy coming back to update this website. It feels reflective to sit down and ask, "do these things still resonate?"

On a separate note, Latticework is up now and am sharing tomorrow ā€“ excited to get it out there.

I have a growing collection of interface sketches in my notebook that I want to make.

Stay tuned...

Assuming we are able to get enough interpretable features across all aspects of the transformer model, how does this change how we can steer the output? What types of ways to edit and explore are possible now?

Iā€™m really excited about interpretability. They're developing a new field of neuroscience for artificial minds.

Compared to biology, the data we need is all there in the activations and weights. If only we can develop the methods and tools to see it.

Mechanistic interpretability is fascinating and has a surprising amount of overlap with my interests

By understanding these models better, we may be able to learn new ways to think about the world, and ourselves
