The aim of scientific communication isn't simplification. It's revealing the language at the heart of the research — precise, honest, and clear so that nothing essential is lost. For over ten years I've built a practice around that belief, at the edges of biology, engineering, and design. My background spans mechanical engineering and biomechatronics; my work has appeared in Science Robotics, the WSJ, Dezeen, SFMOMA, and the worldwide patent library.
