"Designing tomorrow's interactions at the intersection of humans and technology."
Exploring the nexus of human experience and emerging tech, crafting intuitive, accessible, and profoundly meaningful interactions. My research endeavors bridge the divide between humanity and intricate systems through groundbreaking interaction paradigms.
Creating meaningful, intuitive interfaces that prioritize human cognition and behavior patterns. |
Employing ethnographic methods and participatory design to deeply understand user needs. |
Applying mental models and cognitive load theory to design more intuitive systems. |
Designing systems that leverage natural human body movements and spatial awareness. |
