My long term goal is to address emotional needs from the perspective of individual users in order to provide more pleasurable and memorable experiences. My hope is to design a system of emotional objects/experiences that will allow room for more careful and valuable design. I want to break the homogenisation of cultures and emotional user needs.
As a student/proactive learner, I define my work ethic as ambitious and diligent. While striking a careful balance between my studio practice and social life, I have learned perseverance and to have gratitude towards every opportunity I receive. I am a strong believer in, “if you don’t ask, you don’t get.” Therefore, having a continuous dialogue with users is my priority. As a curious individual, I love to engage in emotional and cultural conversations, while constantly reflecting about life and technology around me.
