About



02 ABOUT ME


DELFT UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 2025


INDUSTRIAL DESIGN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

MSc in Design for Interaction


AT TU DELFT, MY MASTERS IS CENTERED AROUND TANGIBLE INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY
PROJECTS. I USE DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS TO OPTIMIZE THE HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY
INTERACTIONS AND CREATE PHYSICAL PRODUCTS EMBEDDED WITH DIGITAL OR ELECTRONIC
TECHNOLOGY. I ANALYZE THE FUTURE IMPACT OF MY PROJECTS AND VISUALIZE THE
INTANGIBLE ASPECTS OF DESIGN PROCESSES. 






Focus on Ethics

For two of my college summers I worked with teenagers as a camp counselor and
youth group social media intern. I saw firsthand how much technology is
negatively affecting teenagers' mental health. This is a perspective I take into
each of my design projects. This is also why I pursued an HCI certificate and am
now taking courses on designing for the future.
