About Me

experience defined by volume and emotional resonance. My practice and research are situated at the intersection of Worldbuilding and Speculative Spatial Design, where I explore how narrative-led interventions can navigate preferable futures. Currently an Assistant Professor at Unitedworld Institute of Design (UID), I adopt the role of a 'Collaborative Lead Designer' in the studio, fostering a creative lab environment where process is valued over final imagery. My work investigates the 'phygital'—the seamless integration of physical and digital layers—to create immersive, sensory-rich environments. From algorithmic design to interdisciplinary synergy, I am committed to advancing design pedagogy that balances academic rigor with the brave exploration of radical ideas. My goal is to educate designers who are not just technically proficient, but possess the conviction to defend their design decisions in an increasingly complex world.
