I’m an interdisciplinary designer working across interaction design, digital health, and creative strategy. My practice explores how technology can foster empathy and connection in everyday life through human-centred experiences. Recent projects, such as LifeWave Omni-Sensing System, integrate sensing technology, UI, and ambient visualization to reimagine wellbeing in the home. I’m passionate about bridging design, innovation, and management to create meaningful, future-oriented solutions.
