About

As a designer, my work stems from the concept of material thinking, which explores the experimental interaction of matter and varied environments and perceptions. The primary inquiry of my works are framed by the idea of ‘transience’ of how matters behave. With a growing desire to contribute to a more sustainable practice, I seek to include the tangents of science, design and technology in the process as a methodological tool for communication.
