Education 

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, US, MArch, Architecture, Entertainment

Integrating large-scale media, interactivity, and robotics to animate cities, buildings, and spaces using narrative and immersive approaches. This studio made me use narrative immersive approaches to design environments, considering the material expression of popular cultures. The intersection of built environment and entertainment, integrating large-scale media, interactivity, and robotics is incorporated to animate cities, buildings, and spaces. This
interdisciplinary environment made me think like a visual storyteller, vfx artist, concept artist or an architect who speculates on designing the worlds and legends of tomorrow. As our media landscape adapts itself to AI-created content and deep fakes, it allows me to explore the inability to distinguish fact from fiction and mines it for innovative forms of storytelling to create uncanny stories set in the spaces and cities of our real/fictional times.
