CV
I’m an artist, designer, and educator originally trained as a medical doctor. I have transitioned to art and design, where I specialize in blending digital fabrication, craft, and electronics. Process-wise, I am particularly interested in electroplating, translation of 3D printed forms into other materials (via casting, mold-making, or use as armature), stones, and creating a world of functional objects based on my designs.
