Hi, I'm Josephine Hoy. I'm a graduate student in the department of Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington . I am very lucky to be able to work with mentors and collaborators across departments and institutions, but my primary home is the Tactile and Tactical (TAT) Design Laboratory .
My work as a researcher and designer is motivated by a desire to help imagine and engineer emancipatory sociotechnical systems—technologies designed and adopted with enthusiastic consent by the individuals and communities who will live with them, with consideration and regard for future generations, all beings, and our world.
My approach to this work is also deeply informed by my experiences with theatre; I believe in the power of storytelling, immediacy, presence, and embodied imagination to invite possibilities and priorities.
