Designing experiences with future-forward tech.
Hi,
I’m a versatile designer who loves to blend conceptual thinking, technology and craft to create engaging experiences.
Whether it’s designing for smart devices, interactive installations for public spaces, or exploring mixed reality, I like to combine storytelling with pragmatic design to deliver something that’s engaging, inclusive and accessible.
With my broad range of experience, I can confidently guide clients through unexplored territory, and turn bold ideas into reality with measurable results.
Fun facts about me:
🥡 I grew up in a restaurant
😱 I’m terrified of birds
🕴️ I had a bodyguard once
🤷🏻 I was always the last to get
picked up from school

Founded in 2010, this project serves as a resource for interaction designers. Focused on FUI (Future/Fictional User Interfaces), it houses a curated collection of the most creative and intriguing examples from films, games, concept design, and practical developments.
In 2016, I authored and published the first-ever book on FUI, titled FUI: How to Design User Interfaces for Film and Games. The book was created to help aspiring designers get practical advice on how to start their careers in this field.
It went on to become an Amazon #1 Best New Release and #1 Best Seller.
This platform is now used to highlight the best work in the field, showcase the artists behind it, and support new generations of FUI designers.
