Armi is a third year Ph.D. student at the Everyday Design Studio. As a growing design researcher, she is interested in design-based inquiry concerning human-technology relations. Her current research is grounded in more-than-human ways of understanding the world, pushing design towards including nonhumans as partners in the design process. Armi uses research though design, and critical and speculative methods to create things that are inclusive of the entangled world humans cohabit with technologies, animals, plants, and other nonhumans. Armi earned her Master's in Creative Technologies from Virginia Tech with a focus in HCI and tangible interaction design. Prior to that, she completed a Master's and a Bachelor's in Architecture.
Jordan Eshpeter: Jordan is a Ph.D. student at the Everyday Design Studio in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) at Simon Fraser University. His research focuses on the intersection of design practice, ethics, and futures. He has also spent over ten years at design and technology consultancies leading strategy and business development teams. Additionally, Jordan has presented at SIAT, Parsons School of Design, Touchpoint Interaction Design Conference, and the Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations Conference.
