My practice has evolved through my work and training in several design disciplines, and through honing my artistic skills via continuous experimentation. I have been shaping products and services since 2017.
I combine personal meditations, reflections, and imaginations with a design research approach grounded in ethnographic and co-creation practices. My understanding of systemic, social, critical, and speculative design heavily influence my conceptual framework.
