About

As a UI/UX designer by trade, I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context. Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy. So in short... Exploring how technology impacts our lives.

It’s a serious effort to tackle one of our biggest energy challenges: how to affordably convert buildings over to high efficiency electric heat pumps. But how can an ice source heat pump raise temperatures through freezing?
