Speculative Designer

I am a speculative designer based in San Francisco. I came from an industrial design background and pursued MFA Design at California College of Arts from 2013 to 2017.

My passion lies in challenging cultural stereotypes and preconceptions through speculative design. Expanding technologies’ possibilities to address Climate challenges fascinates me. I explored methods of design alternative futures by crafting fictional but solid systems, scenarios, and products to promote plausible futures. I am extremely curious and enthusiastic about how people interact with the environment and tools in diverse contexts.

I consider design as a thinking mode and a making tool. As a creative and energetic designer, I am challenging myself every day to use the power of design to frame possible problems, to explore plausible opportunities, and to fuel positive change.
