About 

I graduated with an MA in Exhibition and Experience Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York. I hold another MA degree in Interior and Spatial Design from the University of the Arts London (UAL) in the UK.

As a spatial storyteller, I aim to connect ideas to people through choreographed multi-sensory experiences. I enjoy synthesizing concepts into a coherent spatial language to develop compelling and meaningful narratives, in which the entire story can be embedded into visitors’ experiences. Through a metaphoric and empathetic experiential design, I expect to open a conversation on contemporary topics and emphasize aspects of humanity.
