Summary
I lead initiatives that integrate emerging technologies, storytelling, and design thinking into immersive and interactive themed environments by exploring how digital technologies can enhance physical spaces to create meaningful, emotionally resonant experiences. I am also passionate about building experiential learning opportunities for students, both at the course/curriculum level and at the broader institutional level. With a foundation in digital product design, UI/UX, and motion/illustration, I bring deep industry experience in Agile and SCRUM-based product development into the classroom. My work emphasizes student-centered, project-based learning and curriculum innovation that prepares students to thrive in rapidly evolving creative industries. Current focus areas: - Leading curriculum design that prioritizes experiential, interdisciplinary, and client-facing projects - Investigating how interaction design principles translate into themed entertainment and immersive physical environments - Exploring novel interaction models in mobile and wearable platforms to surprise and delight users primarily through Apple's Swift ecosystem - Mentoring students through real-world challenges that bridge design, business, and technology - Helping students connect, network with, and integrate their work into industry
