Read Again This accessible internet design project uses augmentation and mixed modalities to help aging readers dealing with vision and/or hearing loss revisit the joy of reading. The goal is to create experiences for people who love to read but face physiological barriers that make the written word less accessible and enjoyable. Accessible Times is a Read Again app designed for The New York Times Hackathon in 2014.

Trends Trends is a simple, free, open source program that uses 311 data to identify pressing issues to address at Community Board meetings. I contributed questions during conversations with Community Board representatives, public officials, and residents and helped clarify a process and use cases for the app. Our developers used the interview insights to build a working back end, including an e-mail news letter. I wrote and pushed descriptive Github documentation and helped shape the team's talking points for the Code Across NYC Hackathon, the twenty-four-hour event. Our team of six won the Best Community Board App Award.

Spanky Zapp Store Spanky Zapp Store provides a humorous learning experience to teach consumers about credit card data security. I conceived and built the app by myself using Appery.io at the TechCrunch Hackathon in 2013.

The Reset The Reset is a project I designed to learn about people who might be locked out of the job market by human resources technology. It provides an interface to collect data about job seekers and the potential to provide feedback to applicants, employers, and policy makers. I coded the front end and designed the project by myself for the TechCrunch Hackathon in 2014.
