New York, United States
I work at the intersection of experience design, research, and innovation inside North America’s largest construction company. In my current role at Turner Construction, I manage research and innovation initiatives that examine how emerging digital tools are experienced by people and teams working in a highly physical, high-stakes industry. My work focuses on understanding how technology actually shows up in day-to-day practice: and using those insights to guide future strategy, learning programs, digital platforms, and organizational decisions. I’ve led cross-company research efforts, including surveys and qualitative studies, to understand adoption, perception, and impact across projects and roles. I’ve also been part of the team connecting Turner with OpenAI, exploring how digital technologies might augment the human workflows that define construction. My interest in research began early through academic and practice-based work at the intersection of design, cognition, and robotics. As a manager in the Jenny Sabin Lab, I supported research exploring new modes of human-robot interaction and non-predictive systems. I later served as Research Scholars Chair at Cornell University, where I studied architecture alongside neurobiology and perceptual cognition. I continued this trajectory at Harvard GSD, earning a Master of Design Studies (Technology Track), where I deepened my focus on how tools, interfaces, and systems shape human behavior and experience. Today, I speak at conferences and lead cross-disciplinary collaborations, with a particular interest in research-driven UX, organizational experience, and the future of work across industries.
