How does being queer inform your work?

To be queer is to see the world as it can be, not as it currently is. Embracing nuance, ambiguity, fluidity- are intrinsic both to design and my understanding of my own queerness.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I adore the work of Justin Liam O'Brien, Danny Keith, Shona McAndrew, Gonzalo Orquín... too many others to mention :)

Which other queer people inspire you?

I'm deeply inspired by artists and technologists who merge rigor with feeling, artists like SOPHIE, Arca, Juliana Huxtable. Figures who explore the intersection between feeling and new technology.
