Joseph Z
I'm a designer exploring interaction, data, and conversation. I
experiment with new ways for people to engage with interfaces.
Through my work, I strive to humanize complex ideas and questions.
Currently, I'm a third-year undergraduate studying
Design
and
Human-Computer Interaction
at Carnegie Mellon University.
