❀ Hi, I'm Connie!

On a mission to design systems to empower the world.

I love 0 to 1 design, as it's where I can leverage my skillset in design, research, and code (like this website!). Currently, I'm designing at Atlassian; previously I was at Scale AI, Kleiner Perkins Fellows, NYT, BuzzFeed, and Google Summer of Code.

I'm deeply interested in how tech intersects with creativity and public benefit and have published ICT4D research to ACM CSCW. Currently I serve as Creative Director for Reboot, a publication writing about techno-optimism.

Previously, I got a degree in Data, User Experience, and Computer Science at Cornell, where I founded the Hack4Impact design team and Cornell UX Design club. Before that, I grew up in Pennsylvania and originally wanted to be an environmental scientist - a part of me is still tinkering about the organic web.
