As my namesake, Harriet the Spy, would say, "I want to know everything." I’m always exploring the evolving connection between creativity and technology, finding ways to use it to shape experiences that challenge, inspire, and truly connect with people. Whether I’m designing intuitive solutions or crafting interactions that tell a story, I’m asking the big questions: where are we now and where could we be instead?

This curiosity is exemplified by my unusually broad (and labor-intensive) background in Economics, Creative Computing, and Computer Science at the University of Chicago. Discovering new ways of knowing and engaging with a range of topics, from data-driven problem solving to design thinking to macroeconomics, has equipped me with the grit of an economist, the curiosity of a philosopher, the ingenuity of a technologist, and the imagination of an artist.

An enduring, slightly quirky dream of mine is to completely reimagine the dishwasher. Why are they on the floor when dishes live in cupboards? Surely there's a smarter, more efficient—and definitely more delightful—way. It's exactly this kind of curiosity-driven innovation that motivates me. I’ve always believed that great design and thoughtful technology do more than just make life easier—they have the power to truly enrich it. They open up possibilities, spark creativity, and, most importantly, give us back precious time to focus on what we love most.

Ultimately, my goal can be traced back to that childhood namesake of mine. Like Harriet the Spy, I want to know everything—but more than that, I want to do something with what I know. Because, as Ole Golly wisely said, “knowing everything won’t do you a bit of good unless you use it to put beauty in this world.”
