BIO

Design practitioner and project manager, with 10+ years of experience working across the US, India, France, and the Netherlands, now based in Sweden.

I conceive and support the development of bespoke (and sometimes experimental) digital experiences that balance ease of use, immersiveness, and narrative ingenuity.

Lately, this practice has taken the shape of investigative reports on the use of digital twins in Gothenburg, virtual spaces used to pitch future urban developments, game-based collaborative experiences for young adults, and courses on site-specific speculation.

Elsewhere, I am one half of the artist duo What A Mess with Pedro Gil Farias.
