With a professional Architecture background, my work now focuses on gesture, natural voice, and generative AI, especially in the realm of 3D generation and real-time spatial computing. I am interested in both creating new tools and exploring the design objects they make possible, moving beyond traditional screens and interfaces toward more fluid, embodied, and conversational forms of making. Through this approach, I aim to reimagine how designers engage with machines and how machines, in turn, shape the spaces and objects we create.
