[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]ABOUT ME<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a spatial designer and storyteller who designs experiences and tells stories through spaces. I collaborate with museums and cultural institutions to create participatory learning environments that connect visitors with history, science, and culture.<\/p>\n

My practice is based on in-depth research on exhibition subjects. I communicate complex scientific and historical concepts to wide audiences through information systems, gamification, and interaction design. I aim to elicit a sense of curiosity and encourage visitors to deepen their knowledge, ask questions, and feel a sense of belonging to museums and cultures.<\/p>\n
