About

Hey, thanks for caring who I am.

I’m a writer and artist based in Southern California. I write speculative fiction short stories and novels, mostly in the science fiction genre.

My degrees are in Psychology and Social Sciences, and my stories often focus on the way people and societies interact with their world and each other.

In my day job, I lead the Human Centered Design group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There, I combine psychology, art, and engineering to design the future of mission operations.

What I’m working on:

Novel in Revision: Juncture
Novel First Draft in Progress: The Unbodied
Short Stories In Submission:
— Precious Little Time
— The Makers of Rain
— Driver
— Willow

Nonfiction book: Inclusive Design for Accessibility
(with coauthors)
