  • I'm a communication designer: I create performative matter and embodied installation, everyday tools and translation design to bring people together.

    My work is in raising awareness to the performativity of the everyday. I create practical making and thinking tools that provide a platform for performative interaction, perception, and expression. in order to demonstrate the impact that we are able to have on our own, personal mindset, perception and experience when we choose to take a step back from our acquired ways of communicating and experiencing.
