Jessica A Robinson

My name is Jessie and I'm excited to share my journey with you. I am an interdisciplinary designer, thinker, and maker. I sometimes call myself a "Creative Technologist" or a "Human-Centered Designer," but what I really mean is that I love implementing unconventional and innovative approaches to any problem I encounter. My favorite problems to tackle and the common thread among my work are those concerning the ethics of emerging technologies. Some examples include my work with climate change action, accountable outer space exploration, responsible artificial intelligence, and accessibility of healthcare. I have nearly a decade of experience with various notable institutions including NASA, Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute, Ohio University Scripps College of Communication, the FAA, and Virginia Polytechnic's Institute for Creativity Arts and Technology. I have a breadth of skillsets including those in the fields of engineering, media arts, communication, and design and have endured a variety of life experiences. Together they form my understanding of the world, and how we can change it for good.
