The site’s a work in progress — but you’re welcome to explore!

I’m an interdisciplinary designer — curious about how design shapes experiences, spaces, and systems in the world we live in and move through. I have a background in industrial design, spatial planning, and pole dancing — but what drives me now is creating work that connects materials, bodies, and environments through interaction and movement.

 

I believe we don’t need more objects — we need more meaningful experiences. Experiences that stay with us. Experiences that help us relate to each other, to places, to more-than-human worlds. I’m drawn to projects that invite participation, play, and embodied engagement — where design is not just something to look at, but something to feel, move through, and remember.

My practice brings together research and making — from speculative prototypes and sensory installations to movement-based workshops and public works rooted in community and ecology. I love working in spaces where design, art, and interaction meet.

I’m currently open to new opportunities — in design studios, research labs, creative teams, or cross-disciplinary collaborations. If you’re looking for someone who bridges systems thinking, experience design, and embodied creativity, I’d love to connect. Please feel free to reach out — for work, collaboration, or simply a conversation.

Hello world!
