Vision

I believe design should remain a tool, a means to support, challenge and inspire people.

I see design as both a reflection of the present and a glimpse into the future. While emerging technologies like AI offer great potential, they also risk making human decisions invisible and unquestioned. As a designer, I approach technology with curiosity and scepticism, exploring how it can support human thought rather than replace it.

Traditionally, comfort, efficiency, and seamless interaction have dominated design ideals. For decades, design focused on reducing effort and maximising convenience, visible in examples such as modern cars becoming more automated, spacious, and luxurious. While these values are useful, they no longer address today’s environmental, social, and cognitive challenges. This makes it essential for design to challenge people and engage them actively.

Linking back to my identity, which is grounded in a learning-by-doing approach, it is essential that what I create can be experienced, not only understood conceptually, but felt, interacted with, and questioned. My work is inspired by tangible interaction design, which often puts the user in charge and inspires curiosity while creating space for exploration, reflection, collaboration and active engagement.

Rather than prioritising comfort or efficiency, I aim to create tools that encourage active engagement, learning, and reflection, where users must still think for themselves rather than being guided step by step. Ultimately, I envision working at a design studio or running my own, which allows me to apply my vision and approach.
