Queer Design Club

I'm a public interest technologist, director of design & CX, and artist. I co-created You Feel Like Shit and Sketchbook Fight Club, blending care, creativity, and systems change. I thrive at the intersection of design, government, and collective joy.

How does being queer inform your work?

My queerness shapes how I approach systems, care, and community. Queerness teaches me to question defaults, value lived experience, and design for those pushed to the margins. It fuels my commitment to building spaces—digital and physical—that are inclusive, affirming, and adaptable. Whether through human-centered design in government, self-care tools like You Feel Like Shit, or creative spaces like Sketchbook Fight Club, I prioritize accessibility, agency, and mutual support. My work isn’t just about making things functional—it’s about making them humane, joyful, and built to evolve alongside the people who use them.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

But I’m a Cheerleader nails that mix of camp, critique, and tenderness that queer storytelling does best. Being one of my first experiences with explicitly, unapologetically queer media as a youth, it holds a special quirky place in my heart.
