hey, i'm elaine!
I graduated from MIT with a degree in EECS (devices, circuits, and systems) and a minor in Political Science. I design and build products that connect human health and joy.
I built products for nurses and clinicians at Abby Care, a Sequoia and Thrive backed startup working to make family care possible. With the Conformable Decoders group and Canan Dagdeviren, I researched conformable ultrasound drug-delivery devices for IVF hormone delivery.
I’m constantly thinking about design, the role of play and entertainment, and the future of our political economy.
