// IN BRIEF
I'm, at heart, a storytelling nomad on the quest to find the right words to define myself. With expertise covering multiple domains, I consider myself a generalist designer-researcher with specialist skills in digital products, involved research and systems thinking.
I have been captivated by the narrative potentialities of designed interactive encounters for as long as I can remember, and am continually intrigued by their experiential facets, both imagined and felt. To that end, I've been meandering across multiple disciplines and developing a better comprehension of how we experience stories.

// SIDE QUESTS
From the late 1990s, since before my feet could touch the floor from a chair, I have taken an avid interest in games - narrative games especially - with their stories involving us as participants through their unfolding. Oh, I still play video games, and I have a bit of a soft spot for indie games that innovate on game mechanics in favor of telling a more involved story. Recently, I had so much playing The Return of Obra Dinn, Disco Elysium, and Inscryption.
Beyond this, you'd probably find me taking long walks, playing the bass at jam sessions, and also capturing photos. My instagram has become a sort of a narrative journal in itself, where I pair the photographs I capture using my phone with poetry that explores various themes such as purpose, aspirations, conversations and mental health.
