I’m an artist and designer interested in how inner states translate into form. I work with performance, sculptures, and visual media to explore memory, transformation, and the small, fleeting moments that shape us. My background in psychology, fine arts, and creative technology allows me to move between emotional depth and intentional craft, and to build spaces that feel gentle, intentional, and alive. Through my work, I hope to offer a sense of presence and connection, both to the self and to others.
