Bio

P R O F I L E

I’m a creative technologist and experiential designer currently based in New York. I recently graduated with a Design and Technology degree from Parsons School of Design. I’m interested in creating interactive experiences that encourage people to engage with their tactile surroundings, using technology as a bridge to deepen their connection to the physical world rather than distancing them from it. I’m also passionate about critically thinking about the role technology plays in our life, ideating human machine interactions and tinkering with emerging technologies.
