I taught Design Thinking and Computer Literacy to middle schoolers. Through project-based learning, students address real-world problems while learning new skills and how to use different maker tools.

My goals were to guide students through the design-thinking process, teach basic computer literacy and maker education skills such as creative coding, digital fabrication, physical computing, paper and cardboard construction, etc.

Pronounced “Eight-oh-eight-ers” Club, I wanted to address the lack of BIPOC representation in the technology industry by introducing kids to basic physical computing concepts through a five-day workshop, low-cost take-home kit, set of additional activities, and sharing platform in hopes of sparking an interest in computer science. By children of color, I am referring to BIPOC children. The idea was that children would learn about electricity, circuitry, microcontrollers; and would create a drum machine that they can play with and take home at the end of the workshop.

Urban Nexus is an architecture firm based in Atlanta, Georgia that blends urban landscapes with sustainable design principles. The branding marries the past to the present, taking inspiration from the elegance of Queen Anne-style architecture found in historic Atlanta neighborhoods and modern architecture.

These playing cards were inspired by the Post Modern interior design of the Gong Gan restaurant in Flushing, Queens.

Black Haze is an AI art experiment. I prompted surreal scenes depicting Black womanhood. I used artificial intelligence because I wanted to imagine greater possibilities for Black women than are afforded us in our current reality. I occasionally use the AI-generated images to create collages in an attempt to add the human hand into the works.
