My development

Technology and realisation techniques have evolved from areas of hesitation into key tools for exploration. My Bachelor’s provided a foundation in understanding electronic components and integrating basic sensor-actuator systems with Arduino. Prototyping has become a medium for experimentation and communication, using prototypes to explore and communicate experiential qualities to support informed decision-making. 

​

During my Master’s, I expanded my prototyping skillset to include laser-cutting and 3D printing. I focused conceptually on data-flow systems that bridge physical interaction with digital infrastructures, where I often employed NFC technology, balancing the benefits of engagement through tangible interaction with the benefits of digital data sharing and personalisation.

​

Through high-fidelity developments, especially of less technological prototypes, such as toolkits with wooden, 3D-printed, or paper-based materials, I have also gained sensitivity to material choices, feasibility, and documentation practices that support reproducibility and collaboration with engineering teams. A board year in student Team IGNITE further broadened my sensitivity for realisation possibilities of larger interventions, specifically regarding outsourcing and collaborations with other engineering disciplines.
