Current Projects

Expanding poetry websites into sound art & performance

I make poem-websites by shaping the writing and interface as a holistic process. I take a visual and sonic approach to the text, working simultaneously between code, audio, and design tools. The most recent piece was conceived as a mobile website to accompany a live reading at an exhibition I helped design at the HFBK Hamburg, where I am currently studying a master's with the Klasse Digitale Grafik. Next I want to work on a site that emerges from audio snippets, and slowly begin to incorporate sound technology and more musical elements into the readings.

Looking for freelance work in UX & technical writing

I'm available to work on information architecture and technical content strategy as well as user documentation and interface copy. Past experience includes a full restructuring of the help docs for the visual research platform Are.na, timed with the release of a new web client. I was really excited to work on this project as a longtime user of Are.na, which remains very central to my art community and practice. I've also worked in market research at Statista, where I wrote and edited a high volume of industry reports to improve SEO for their infographics. Topics of focus included global energy markets, renewable resources and agriculture, which I would be interested in working on again.

Growing communities, teaching, & organizing

As of spring 2026, I am working on a collective dinner project that accompanies an online compendium/poetic field guide to vegetables, gardening and culinary practices. Simultaneously I am co-creating a Creative Computing/Libre Graphics club in Hamburg and also looking for teaching opportunities. Most recently, in summer 2025, I taught a daylong workshop as a guest lecturer in a design foundations course at Burg Halle, and organized Hamburg HTML Day as part of a worldwide event. Past work includes creative code courses for young learners and many years in language education.
