I'm a first year graduate student at the MIT Media Lab, in the Fluid Interfaces group.

I'm primarily interested in virtual reality, through the lens of both traditional computer science and HCI, and media theory.

I'm interested in creating a grammar for interacting with virtual reality in an accessible, thought-through manner which works with the three-dimensionality of the medium, rather than trying to manage 3d spaces with fundamentally 2d tools, and which sees virtual reality as the most immersive storytelling medium currently available, rather than just a platform for video games.
