About

Phenomenological Digital Experience Designer

My specialty lies in exploring how touch shapes our perception of existence, both physically and digitally. With a background in product and UX design, I combine tactile interaction, immersive technology (such as VR/AR, point cloud, and gesture-based interfaces), and philosophical frameworks like phenomenology and ontology to investigate how presence can be sensed and materialized in digital environments. I’m particularly interested in the moments when we unconsciously affirm our existence through contact, and how those fleeting sensations might be translated into digital forms without replicating reality.
