Background

For years, I've been fascinated with Virtual Reality. I crafted (then 3D printed) intricate sculptures out of virtual clay, and collaborated with peers to develop experimental Unity-based experiences. And at the Architecture studio I worked at, I was chosen to pioneer the adoption of VR for design work and client presentations.

Beyond creating Architectural visualizations at work or dreaming up alien landscapes at home, I eventually realized that what I was passionate about wasn’t limited to a specific creative medium. Rather, it was crafting amazing stories and experiences based on a deep, empathetic understanding of the user. That's what I'm doing today as a UX Designer.
