I am a multi-disciplinary designer and researcher. My design interest lies at the intersection of computational design, material-mediated interaction and fabrication. I find immense joy in designing and making things that bring people’s awareness to their environment, body and self. Be it an art installation, a space, a wearable or anything in between.
My creative journey began with a deep curiosity about the unseen connections between technology, materiality, and human experience. With expertise spanning computational design, interactive design, and digital fabrication, I thrive on exploring how design can craft sensory “architectures” and provoke critical reflection. From speculative interfaces that challenge technological norms to emergent, context-aware forms and structures, my work bridges disciplines to envision futures where design becomes a dynamic dialogue between form, material, and behavior. Beyond technical innovation, I am driven by a desire to tell stories—through objects, spaces, and systems—that reveal design's potential to inspire, question, and transform.
