I'm a cognitive scientist by training and an industrial technology educator by trade. This website brings together my professional work and broader interests. As an educator, I care about making technical and industrial processes understandable, which connects back to my academic interest in cognition, learning, and communication. I also write more broadly about the things I find interesting, from philosophy and technology to film and books.
