Hi! My name is Peggy. I’m devoted to exploring hybrid connections between ambient ambient intimacyintimacy && humanhuman agencyagency. I love cats despite my allergies for them (a star-crossed love).

I’m drawn to mapping the intricacies that pass through our devices, our gestures, and the spaces we share.

In my design approach, this expresses itself through data, interactivity, interfaces, and relational tools to build shared knowledge and collaborative infrastructure. In my creative practice, this takes the form of retrofuturistic, multidisciplinary narratives: animation, illustration, painting, site-specific experiences, and digital spaces like games or creative computation.

My design journey began at age 9 with my first ever blog on WordPress. Now, I’m pursuing my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction + Design at the University of Washington. Previously, I pioneered a new major as the first student at Carnegie Mellon University to graduate with honors in an interdisciplinary degree for Information Systems and Art.

So far, I’ve contributed across technical and cultural spaces through UX design, visual storytelling, interaction design, and creative technology. I’ve hand-animated sales videos, polished company rebrands, and designed interfaces for critical healthcare tools.

Outside of work, I like to paint, write, and read. My current pastime is translating song lyrics on Genius. I also dabble in mobile games; currently Grandmaster in Wild Rift :’). I’m a fan of figure skating, public libraries, anik-aniks, vanilla chai, clip-on earrings, anime, triptych panels, fashion archives, tiramisu, and revitalizing the internet.
