Biography
An alumnus of Pratt Institute with a BFA in Interior Design and University of Arts London with a MA in Research for Spatial Design along with a MS in Ephemeral Architecture & Temporary Spaces from Elisava – Barcelona School of Design and Engineering. As a user-focused experiential designer, I create multi-sensorial experiences that involve built environments, people, context, and purposes that are capable of enhancing and activating spaces and communities based on user-centric research of use.
As a designer, I am constantly inspired by human interactions with their environment. This fuels my love for creating optimal habitable spaces. Having traveled extensively I have been exposed to various architectural precedents, cultures, and people I often find myself reflecting back on those experiences while designing. I strongly believe that design stimulates people to behave a certain way—it can condition and control their actions and reactions. I make sure that the user experience is enjoyable and personalized, whilst also ensuring it is meaningful. My designs revolve around the conscious user research, with a focus on delivering intuitive and engaging experiences.
