I’m a programmer and maker, interaction designer and researcher. I hold a M.Sc. in Media Informatics from the University of Munich, Germany. I gained professional experience in Interface and User Experience Design for the Web, Mobile and Embedded Application Development for the Internet of Things, In-Vehicle Infotainment and Interactive Lighting Design.
Currently, I’m a PhD candidate in the Design Lab at University of Sydney (Australia). My research interests include the development of prototyping methods and tools for complex design contexts beyond the screen. I am particularly interested in media architecture and urban robotics.
