Top SchoolHannah Twigg-smith is a software engineer based in Cambridge, MA with 11 years of experience building playful, creative tools that bridge digital and physical making. She recently completed a PhD in Human-Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, where her research and tooling focused on design and simulation for automatic knitting and centered craft practices. At Topologic she applies that research-driven approach to product software, combining full-stack development with hands-on interaction and fabrication expertise. Hannah has taught and redesigned web and physical computing curricula, publishes course materials publicly, and has a history of internships that span industry labs and large tech teams—evidence of both industry fluency and academic rigor.
