CURRENTLY

Until 2025 June, I was an interaction designer leader at IKEA HQ, where we're working on corporate-inside-out innovation. I am also an artist and educator. I sometimes create artwork with code, but mostly focus on building experimental tools. I used to make interactive environments that invite participants to become performers. My main focus is building bridges where there shouldnt be one.
