Refashion: Reconfigurable Garments via Modular Design
How can we design garments for change and reuse? By treating garments as dynamic assemblies rather than static products, Refashion enables users to remix their garments on demand.
I design computational systems where mathematics and materials become forms for thinking, making, and playing. Much of my current work focuses on reuse and reconfiguration in creating constructable garments.
I'm an EECS PhD student at MIT CSAIL, advised by Erik Demaine. I was also fortunate to spend a season at the MIT Media Lab, exploring code as a creative medium with Zach Lieberman.
My work has been supported by the MIT MAD Design Fellowship, the MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship, the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship, and the MathWorks Engineering Fellowship.
My time at MIT is a collage of research, teaching, art-making, and collecting words, photos, and so

Systems
I build tools that reimagine material systems as computational playgrounds, inviting users to play with structure, wander through constraints, and discover new possibilities.
Encoding-Decoding Constellations
How can we create constellation patterns with unconventional star arrangements? By representing constellations as mathematical graphs, we reveal an alternative language for reasoning about and creating constellations.
