one of my absolute favorite human beings working in art/tech as a kind of "design engineer", mixing anthropology, UI/UX design and illustrations into her work/research on tools for thought, AI, extended/embodied cognition and more.

she has one of the best digital gardens out there, which you'll see me refer to a lot if you're exploring any of my prototypes and designs of the life support systems and intentional personal OS.

i'm working on compiling my highlights/notes from all of her articles. it'll be up on this page sometime soon.

a few favorite articles/videos:

tools for thought as cultural practices, not computational objects
a picture worth a thousand programmes

my notes/highlights:

essays:
Making Programming Visual, Spatial, and Learnable
How to Draw Invisible Programming Concepts

patterns:
Programming Portals
Assumed Audiences
