What I'm Curious About
Technology shapes far more than our actions. It shapes what we encounter, what captures our attention, and ultimately what we learn. I'm interested in understanding how digital systems influence discovery and behavior, and how they might be designed to support more intentional learning experiences.
Discovery
How do we find things we weren't looking for?
I'm interested in how people encounter new ideas, information, and perspectives. As recommendation systems increasingly mediate discovery, I wonder how technology influences what we see and what remains invisible.
Questions I'm exploring:
How do recommendation systems shape learning trajectories?
What makes discovery feel meaningful?
How can technology support exploration rather than repetition?
What influences the paths people take through information?
Learning
How do digital environments teach us?
Every product teaches something, whether intentionally or not. I'm interested in how interfaces shape habits, attention, and knowledge acquisition over time.
Questions I'm exploring:
What behaviors do digital products encourage?
How do design decisions influence learning?
What makes technology supportive of lifelong learning?
How can learning be integrated into everyday digital experiences?
Attention
What competes for our attention and why?
Modern technologies are designed to capture attention. I'm interested in understanding how attention is directed, sustained, and fragmented across digital environments.
Questions I'm exploring:
How do interface designs influence focus?
What is the relationship between attention and learning?
How might systems encourage deeper engagement?
What responsibilities come with shaping what people encounter?
