Attaining Inclusive Design with Empathy

March 12, 2019March 12, 2019
After spending an hour with Christina Mallon-Michalove in the fall of 2018 to record her video interview for National Disability Awareness Month. I didn’t know that the hour would change my life. In her early 20s, Christina developed a motor neuron disease resulting from a car accident, which left both of her arms paralyzed. However, I noticed that she had walked into the room on the 19th floor without assistance after navigating the NYC Metro system and she had a cell-phone. Curious about how she uses it, I asked her if she ... Read More

As a technophile, I enjoy immersing in new technology and provide consultation in using them for brands that I work on. I am also a published illustrator who draws on my iPad during my commute (as @commuteartist on Instagram) which led to Viola Davis owning piece of my artwork! I have also been an illustration contributor for ESPN and I am an Adobe Brand Ambassador. In my spare time, I train for ultramarathons (running up to 50 miles) and trains for half ironman triathlons. I also volunteer for organizations that are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)-related and elevate Women—especially those of color.
