With 3+ years experience solving complex problems with human-centered methodologies, I've delivered innovative solutions to clients across government, nonprofit, education and healthcare sectors.

I prioritize empathy in my research practices and center justice in my design decisions. As an advocate for digital accessibility, I have spearheaded remediation efforts, led educational workshops and developed project strategies and processes.

As a master's student at the University of Michigan's School of Information, my work explores design justice, digital accessibility and public interest technology.

I am seeking full-time positions with mission-aligned organizations beginning Summer 2026. If you are interested in connecting, feel free to email me at mehouse@umich.edu!
