Bio

My name is Carlin McQueen, a proud Houston native majoring in Dance and Information Systems & Business Analytics at Loyola Marymount University. I am a McNair Scholar passionate about bridging the gap between technology, art, and community. Whether I’m researching abolitionist design principles, DJing student events, or mentoring young artists, everything I do is rooted in care and collective impact. I am also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. I'm currently exploring how data and system design can support the arts and uplift marginalized voices. My goal is to create spaces where creativity and access coexist—especially for Black, queer, and low-income communities like the one that raised me.
