Education

I have a BA in Gender Studies from Pitt and an MA in Design from Carnegie Mellon. Both have let me work with people in meaningful ways.

Dinner with one person living or dead—who?

PJ Harvey. I admire how she is not contained by mediums or expectations. She’s a personal hero of mine and is one of the most creative people I can think of.
