You can find me working in different environments:
Design – I work with UX/UI, service design, accessibility, and educational design. I enjoy projects where research, systems thinking, and experimentation come together to create meaningful interactions. My work often sits somewhere between classic digital product design and more playful, interactive approaches.
Game Design – I love creating stories, characters, and mechanics that shape how players interact with a system. I’m especially interested in research-based game design that blends play with learning and exploration.
Workshops & Teaching – I enjoy facilitating co-design workshops and teaching design processes. Whether it’s brainstorming sessions, design exercises, or longer courses, I like creating environments where participants actively shape ideas together.
Art Projects – I also experiment with digital media and collaborative art projects. These tend to be more playful, strange, or cross-disciplinary.
