Teaching Assistant Professor of Creative Technology & Design

Annie is an educator, researcher, and human enthusiast motivated by questions at the intersections of mental health, technology, addictive design, tribalism, the attention economy and mindfulness. Her teaching and research address psychotechnologies and cognitive states that counteract the negative impact of social media on our mental health and wellbeing. She cultivates contemplative practices and classroom experiences to foster skills critical for human thriving in the rapidly growing attention economy – empathy, sovereignty, metacognition, embodied wisdom, self-inquiry and interpersonal communication.She received her PhD in cell and molecular biology from Northwestern University in 2014, and balances this rigorous training in the scientific method with the empiricism of participatory knowledge. She enjoys working with companies to develop strong cultures of empathy through personalized feedback and facilitates workshops empowering creative technologists to find their voice and personal story.
