Hi, I'm Udara (/uˈda.ra/).

I’m interested in how people and systems work, and how they shape the world around us. I explore those questions through design, research, and the things I make.

I studied bioinformatics at Western University, where I also founded and built Clew. Following its acquisition by Dropbox in 2022, I worked on new product development under the CEO’s office.

Today I run UNMS, an independent design and research lab.
