Having a page “under construction” seems very very old school to me. But, as I move my blog and site over to some new space at school, then under construction is the best way to describe it. Well, it’s a way.

I am a doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley earning a degree in Information Management and Systems from the School of Information, with a Designated Emphasis in New Media from the Berkeley Center for New Media.
I research the cultural practices that have accompanied the development of new social and technical infrastructure for the creation, distribution, and use of digital media. I seek to understand how people’s identities as creators and authors both shape and are shaped by infrastructure that supports creative practice.
I was a researcher on the Digital Youth Research project, a three year project funded by the MacArthur Foundation to explore young people’s everyday use of new media. Before graduate school, I worked as a user interface designer and product manager at a company producing data visualization software. I hold a Masters in Information Management and Systems from UC Berkeley’s School of Information (’05) and a Bachelor of Arts in Science, Technology, and Society from Stanford University (’00).
