Design as a catalyst for possibility.
Design is not just about objects or aesthetics—it is a dynamic process that shapes experiences, systems, and our future lives. My work bridges human-centered innovation, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration, leveraging design as a strategic tool to drive meaningful change. From prototyping speculative futures to integrating design into healthcare, education, and social impact, I explore how design can be more than problem-solving—it can be possibility-seeking.
This portfolio reflects my ongoing journey—from early explorations in digital design + fabrication to newer work in AI, clinical innovation, and systems-driven design frameworks. Whether working on physical, digital, or experience-driven projects, I focus on how design can challenge assumptions, ignite feelings and create impact.
