I'm a passionate researcher, designer and educator with over 20 years of international experience, blending architecture, interaction design, and emerging technologies. With a foundation spanning three continents and a diverse academic background, including a PhD and three master’s degrees, I specialize in the intersection of design, technology, and human interaction.What drives me most is shaping the future of how we live and interact with both physical and digital environments. As AI and human-centered design converge, I’m particularly fascinated by the opportunities to rethink urban and architectural spaces where humans and AI seamlessly coexist. Whether through generative AI like Stable Diffusion or exploring how mixed reality transforms space-making, I’m dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design innovation.Career Highlights:Architecture & Interaction Design: Over 10 years of experience conceptualizing future-oriented environments, where transmedia storytelling, scenography, and generative AI drive innovation. I’ve led design projects that explore the relationships between space, humans, and emerging technologies.Research & Development: I’m passionate about applying research to real-world design problems. Whether developing prototypes for AI-driven environments or designing spaces with future-proofing in mind, I’m constantly exploring how research can shape better design practices.Course Development & Mentorship: Over 15 years of experience creating and delivering more than 40 educational programs focused on architecture, interior design, and spatial practices. I’ve mentored hundreds of students, helping them shape future-forward, ethically grounded design careers.Looking Ahead:I’m excited about research-to-practice roles in forward-thinking, design-driven enterprises. My ideal next step? Contributing to a company’s R&D efforts to craft solutions that address today’s challenges while anticipating tomorrow’s possibilities. I'm especially drawn to organizations and places that thrive on innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration, imagining future of human spatial experience.Key Skills:Research & Innovation: Independent & collaborative research, experiment design, and foresight/futures thinking.Technical Mastery: Human-centered design, human-building interaction, generative AI in design, CAD/parametric software, scenario planning, mixed reality, and design fiction.Teaching & Mentorship: Syllabus development, hands-on learning, coaching & mentoring with a focus on equity, cultural diversity, and sustainable design.
