About
As a designer and researcher in the intersection of physical and digital realms, my work explores the dynamic synergies of emotion, environment and technology. My practice, termed “Phy-gital Design”, is a testament to the transformative power of integrating physical interactions with digital experiences to foster profound emotional and cognitive engagement
Rooted in the theoretical framework of constructed emotions, my projects are intended to challenge perceptions and harness the often misunderstood energy of emotions like anger. By crafting immersive environments that physically engage participants, I aim to catalyst a deeper understanding and reevaluation of emotional experiences.
My work is not just about creating interactive experiences - its about sculpting spaces that resonate on a deeper societal level, pushing the boundaries of digital and physical interaction to enhance emotional literacy and personal growth.
