Risk Perception and Response in Digital Environments

I’m interested in changes in the visual and sonic makeup of a digital environments may change how we take risks in said digital environment.

In order to study how our risk-taking behavior changes in digital environments, I’ve created a series of interfaces. Each interface asks the user to make a decision that would probably be considered high-risk. For several interfaces, the user is asked to make some high-stakes financial decisions. In others, the user is asked to make choices that affect other people’s well being, or their own. ALL questions are for imagined situations.

I’m a writer, digital designer, and podcast host/producer, currently pursuing a degree in Integrated Digital Media at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering. I’m particularly interested in understanding and improving human interactions with digital tools and digital entertainment. In my work, I’ve tackled problems like making cooking more accessible for visually impaired people, creating diagnostic and citizen science tools within games, and making visual art possible using only one’s voice. Much of my work is done on teams, and I’ve served as project manager, as well as writer and as a designer, working under deadlines for companies such as Microsoft and the United States Army Corp of Engineers.
