An artist who thrives in interdisciplinary environments, Leah (Lee) Donnelly investigates how to foster sustainable, creative, and accessible spaces using technology. Their work draws from a diverse array of fields—wearable technology, accessible design, media archeology, fine art, philosophy, audio-haptics, and more. Passionate about developing educational, community-driven, and disability-centered initiatives, Lee is always excited to discuss how unique fusions of arts, humanities, and sciences can unearth new pasts, presents, and futures.

LinkedInLee is currently writing their undergraduate thesis. Drawing from media archeology, feminist STS, and critical horology, their thesis excavates the wristwatch as a queer object, disrupting the dominant narratives and mythos which sedimented into the object's larger assemblage. They are also presently providing their advice as a sound specialist on a Masters thesis and building a goldfish dispensing "gumball" machine inspired by the history of vending.
