I create interfaces that shape and critique the future of technology.
Most of my works start with observing people and making meaningful interactions in the physical environment. Previously, I worked as an industrial designer, and/or interaction designer.
Recently, my practice has focused on making tools to augment or mediate body and mind at the intersection of technology and design.
Some of my works have been presented at MIT News, IDEA(International Design Excellence Award) , Core77, SXSW, Fast Company, Science Museum London, Venice Biennale(TIME SPACE EXISTENCE), Seoul Design Week, and major Human-Computer Interaction conferences, including ACM CHI, DIS, UIST, IEEE HRI, and NeurIPS.
