Initiatives
Take a look at what I’ve created, designed, produced, and built.
Motion Light Lab - A Deaf Ecosystem
A space where technology, science, art, and Deaf Culture intersect to create tangible learning experiences.
This video was created in collaboration with the LEGO Foundation, Stupid Studio, and Bus Door Films.
I founded Motion Light Lab at Gallaudet University in 2012 with a simple but radical premise: that science should become experience. Over fifteen years, I built it into one of four hubs of the NSF Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning — shipping storybook apps translated into 20+ languages, developing motion-capture signing avatars, pioneering bilingual learning frameworks, and building the infrastructure other Deaf creators now use to tell their own stories. What makes the Lab singular isn't just the products I've shipped — it's the pipeline I designed: rigorous research translated into lived experience, with Deaf community authorship at every stage. It is my proof of concept that when you build technology for the people most excluded from it, you build something better for everyone.Bilingual Storybook Apps & Creator Platform
Redefining the reading experience for bilingual, visual learners
I created the VL2 Storybook Apps to solve a problem: lack of quality sign language reading experience that builds literacy development. Young Deaf children had almost no independent reading experiences designed for them from the ground up. Each app I built integrates ASL video storytelling, animated illustration, and bilingual text across three learning modes — Watch, Read, and Learn — giving Deaf children access to rich stories that are designed for full reading comprehension and scaffolding from a single word to full context and meaning. This work has been recognized as an Innovative Practice by Zero Project and Best Practices Honor by the Library of Congress. But the part I'm most proud of is what came after: the VL2 Storybook Creator platform, which put the tools in the hands of the community itself. To date, it has enabled 350+ Deaf creators across 20+ languages to build their own bilingual stories — turning a product into an ecosystem, and turning users into authors.The ASL App & Global Sign Language Apps
