A Survey of Body Doubling
What is body doubling? It’s not cloning - it’s a task initiation and completion strategy used by neurodivergent communities. To do what? Click to find out. 
Digital Ethnography of ADHD Social Media
ADHD has been sensationalized by the media. ‘Everyone has it now’ and yet it remains underdiagnosed. Social media is actually providing a service to many who have gone undiagnosed their entire lives, wondering why they feel different. A different take on social media and ADHD. 
Crowdsourcing Classroom Accessibility Improvements
This project uses crowdsourced data from neurodivergent Twitter users to examine changes that could be made to higher education courses to increase accessibility. By combining user-generated suggestions with Universal Design for Learning and guidelines from accessibility organizations, I develop a workbook for course staff to use as a resource to build accommodations into their class design.
Comparing App Recommendation Systems
Interactive recommender prototypes designed to guide users through a set of questions to present them with a personalized set of suggested mental health apps
Mental Health App Content Analysis
Content analysis of 41 mental health apps to explore the effects of freemium payment models on user experience
Trust in Chatbots and Taxonomy of Breakdowns
This project evaluated two chatbot apps for mental health with three participants over the course of ten days. The chatbot with fewer communication breakdowns led to higher scores on Trust and Competence as well as stronger feelings of Working Alliance.

Product Unboxing Behaviors
Usability testing of a physical and digital product experience aimed at improving work productivity. 
Data Visualization Explorations
Repository of my participation in R for Data Science’s Tidy Tuesday community of practice. Each week, a new dataset is released for people to practice their data visualization skills and receive help and feedback from the R community. I primarily work with {ggplot2} for graphics.
Recommender System Conversation Design
Interactive recommender prototypes designed to guide users through a set of questions to present them with a personalized set of suggested mental health apps
Uncovering Target Audience Behaviors and Needs

Machine Learning on User Reviews
This project involves identifying predatory behaviors in mental health apps using training data to generate a model for analyzing large datasets of user reviews. 
Generative AI Projects
Two projects completed using generative AI. First, implementing the Wave Function Collapse algorithm to explore the generation of computational constellation art using 77 individual tiles designed in Photoshop. Second, developing a Twitterbot using the Tracery text generation and bot creation tool to post GPT-2-generated and expandable grammar content.
Shiny Application
Stemming from a prior static data visualization, I developed an interactive Shiny web application using R to explore historical (1997-2016) government spending on children.
