ABOUT
As an Artist and an XR Developer, I split my time between working in the physical and virtual worlds. Coming from an arts background, I have always enjoyed experimenting with different mediums, techniques, and platforms. While this has driven my interest in developing immersive and interactive XR experiences, I have not been able to let go of the joy that comes from creating physically. Through my artistic practice, I aim to uphold a balance between creating in both these realms, and even at times, bringing them together.
