Hi! I’m Dorothy. I’m a designer interested in the space between design, technology, and data.

I like experimenting with different tools and mediums to understand how things work, make invisible systems visible, and turn ideas into something people can experience.

If I’m not taking photos, DJing, or scheming my next creative project, I’m probably playing with my Jack Russell terrier, Juno.
