Designing from Eindhoven, The Netherlands
I am currently pursuing Master's in Industrial Design from Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. As a design engineer, I explore alternative roles that technology might play to build new relations between humans and non-humans. Through our design decisions, I believe we can explore integrating a diversity of perspectives and needs fostering a shared agency between humans and other beings facilitating mindful interactions. I envision using design as a medium to move beyond maintenance of nature towards radical betterment. By designing with a focus on ecological integration and species interdependence, I strive to create solutions that have a meaningful, systems-level impact. I am specializing in biodesign, more-than-human design research, material research, digital manufacturing, and advanced prototyping methods.
