Whether it’s measuring the Co2 emission of a Facebook post or designing objects that talk, I focus on exploring how we use technology to interact with the world around us.
Drawing from my experience in R&D and interactive media, I work to find unique ways to tell a story, provoke users, or bring new and exciting functions to everyday life.
