Hi there!

I am a designer and engineer building new embodied interactions (inspired on physical affordances) connecting machine intelligence (LLMs, GenAI, machine learning techinques) with human creativity (imagination, storytelling, drawing, play).
Every project is a reexamination of existing paradigm and an attempt to elevate an experience.

I have a BFA in Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a concentration in Computation.

I am currently pursuing a Master in Design Studies at Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD).
