About
As a designer and a dancer, I have developed an obsession for the way things move. 'The aesthetic design of physical movement' otherwise known as kinetic design has served as the cross section between my two creative worlds. I see it as an opportunity to make products dance and as a platform for exploring, experimenting, and prototyping to develop expressive products that offer a new experience for the user.
