About Me

Imagination inspires us and sometimes defines who we are. In my work I want to use interactive ‘imaginary’ environments to make spaces for people to experiment, play and learn. These imaginary worlds can be strengthened by introducing interactivity to traditional entertainment and media to create more immersion and making the experience more impactful. In my design process, I combine user experience and interactive media to make people push their boundaries, open their eyes and give them a space for expression.
