Multidisciplinary Designer
“Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” – Charles Eames, American designer, architect, and filmmaker
My multidisciplinary background specializing in user research, interactive technology, and spatial design, is a unique asset to facilitating design thinking in solving wicked problems. With an open mindset to challenges, I take a holistic approach to people and their surroundings and tailor research methodologies while exploring up-to-date technologies such as AR/VR, artificial intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML).
