I have worked with the Ability Project at NYU since 2022 where I began my research creating accessible experiences at museums and historical sites, focusing on tactile graphics for Blind/Low-vision visitors and tactile learners.
An ongoing project we are working on is developing a method of creating tactile interpretations of historical textiles using digital embroidery on paper. I am also focused on making this design and fabrication process accessible for Blind/Low-Vision artists and designers.
I am an Adjunct Professor at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Department of Technology, Society and Culture, where I teach a graduate-level course called “Accessibility As Creative Practice,” and an undergraduate course, “Digital Accessibility and Creative Applications“.
