Anita is a designer specializing in bespoke assemblies and kit-of-parts. Her projects emphasize prototyping complex systems with a focus on accessible and efficient fabrication methods. She has a strong interest in soft robotics, which originated from her thesis work on compliant solar trackers. Recently, she has been exploring pneumatics across various mediums, adding an aesthetic flair to her designs.

Based in New York, Anita is currently a project associate (and former student) at the Jenny Sabin Lab. She holds a Master of Science in Matter Design Computation (now rebranded as Design Tech) from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University at Buffalo.

Her previous work experience spans landscape design-builds, public art, and material circularity. As an advocate for inclusive practices and emotional comfort, she actively participates in user experience studies within university-related research.

Anita also enjoys swimming, collecting miniatures, selling on Depop, and refining her pottery skills in her free time.
