Hi, I’m Ned Shoaei—a storyteller, critical thinker, and creative technologist. With a background in English Literature, I’ve worked professionally using interactive media to create and curate exhibitions and performance video installations. Now, as an MFA student in Game Design and Development at SCAD, I’m also the president of XR Women and Allies, where I explore emerging technologies and help students connect with the industry.

Living with MS from a young age has shaped how I see the world and solve problems, pushing me to design systems that are inclusive, accessible, and human-centered. “Pixels & Thoughts” is my creative outlet—a space where I write about how technology impacts human behavior and the challenges of designing for diverse audiences.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me gaming, at the gym, or cooking up a healthy dish. Let’s connect and build something meaningful!
