As an interdisciplinary practitioner, I work at the intersection of design, engineering, and art in tandem with an inquiry into other foundational fields. I interlace diverse principles to produce innovative outcomes that are socially, commercially, and technologically responsible. Having a background in engineering, I engage critically with design and engineering to evaluate the potentials of my creative explorations.
My background in engineering allows me to tease out technological tools to holistically realise my designs by switching critically between the limitations of the two fields. Further, holding a minor in management studies I strive to create well-rounded, resilient, and feasible human-centric solutions. I turn to design thinking as a way of critically questioning and revolutionizing our current
practices in technology through art and design - one that is empathetic to human sustenance.
Design Ethos
To co-design an ecosystem that uses multidisciplinary and collaborative
approaches to innovate solutions with humanity, society, and nature at its heart - one that challenges commercial, technological, and cultural constraints.
