I build worlds where space, story, and systems come together. With a foundation in architecture and experience across global brands, my work focuses on creating meaningful experiences that people can feel, shape, and remember. I use storytelling, strategy, and emerging technologies to design moments that extend beyond the space, into culture, interaction, and everyday life.

[UPDATED - 21.03.26]

I’ve been developing Floments under nwnthn, exploring how sound, culture, and overlooked spaces can come together to create meaningful moments in the city.

At the same time, I’ve been deepening my understanding of AI and emerging technologies, not just as tools, but as systems to orchestrate. Shaping how I think about design, process, and the future of experience.
