about

My background spans game design, fine art, interaction design, and technology. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Game Design at NYU and am currently pursuing an M.S. in Integrated Design & Media at NYU, where I explore both creative practice and emerging technologies. This mix of art, design, software, and hardware helps me bring a more playful and experimental perspective to product design, while still grounding ideas in how they can actually be built.
