Eriane Austria

Hey there! I’m Eriane (aka Eri), a Filipina American multidisciplinary creative whose interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience, art, and creative technologies.

I work as the Programs Administrator at The Museum of Human Achievement (MoHA), where I draw on my interdisciplinary background to support MoHA’s data, communications, operations, grants administration, and program needs. I’m also involved in Slipper Assembly, a community of Asian creatives in Austin, TX, as part of the team where I support marketing and logistics.

Previously, I have performed academic research in cognitive neuroscience at Dell Med; developed games as artist, programmer, designer, and/or producer; and took on several leadership roles in operations and outreach for a variety of student-led organizations in college. Overall, I’m a polymath through and through with a love for art-making, exercise, science, and connecting with people through exploring joys, unknowns, and lived experiences. I earned my BSA in Neuroscience, BS in Arts & Entertainment Technologies, and Evidence & Inquiry Certificate in Digital Globalization and Intersectionality through the Polymathic Scholars honors program at the University of Texas at Austin.

Outside of work, I enjoy re-exploring creative outlets, exercising (catch me bouldering, powerlifting, and running!), going on silly adventures with friends, and hanging out with my cat, Jelly!
