BIO

My research focuses on the application and evaluation of emerging technologies to enhance design practices and user experiences. I work with tools such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring their potential to drive innovation and tackle complex challenges.


My work spans areas such as improving health and wellbeing through design solutions, advancing design creativity, and transforming education. I aim to integrate cutting-edge technologies with human-centred approaches to create impactful design outcomes.
