I am an Assistant Professor of Visual Communication Design at the University of Oklahoma, where I lead the OU Research for Human-Computer Interaction Design (OURCHID) Lab.

My research takes a human-centered approach to designing technologies that enhance and extend human capabilities. Grounded in principles of human-computer interaction, my work focuses on creating and evaluating technology that empowers individuals, supports understanding, and fosters problem-solving, while being mindful of social, cultural, and ethical contexts.

My current research includes developing an AI tool to support art education, integrating generative AI into design education, and exploring how conversational AI agents like ChatGPT can help in early identification and intervention of mental health conditions.
