Designer by choice. Artist by
instinct.

Musician, storyteller,
engineer... occasionally all at
once.

I turn curious ideas into things
people can see, hear, feel and
use.

Turning Ideas Into Impact

I'm a designer who likes to work where disciplines overlap, where design meets technology, storytelling meets interaction, and ideas become experiences people can actually feel.

Engineering taught me to think in systems.
Art taught me to observe.
Music taught me rhythm.
Design brought them together.

CYMATICS

Tangible Physical Acoustics & Sound Visualization

A multi-sensory interactive hardware installation engineered to manifest invisible acoustic frequencies into physical form. Seamlessly bridges photonic beam-interruption sensing and standing wave modal resonance to transform raw frequency dynamics into responsive, touchless spatial interfaces and living geometric art.
