I am a New Media designer, and three things come together to form my practice: my experience with design research, love for sound, and a skill for prototyping. I enjoy working at the intersection of the tactile and the technological, where a simple input can spark curiosity or surprise. 

This is why the Play Invention Hardware team feels right for me. I’m interested in how sensors, motors, and sound can create playful feedback loops. I enjoy working hands-on with electronics and prototyping, but equally I value sketching ideas quickly, testing them, and letting the behaviour feed into the outcome. I can bring that kind of spontaneity and craftsmanship into your team.

I am comfortable with ambiguity, like in cases where the perimeter of the project is not defined. Many of my projects do not begin with a clear answer in mind, but just a question that lets me take the next step. 

Because for me, play begins when something surprises you.

Warm regards,
