About

My design practice focuses on deconstructing and reassembling our shared memories. I work with faded bits of our collective past. I collect these cultural fragments and transform them. I believe nostalgia is not about repeating the past, but about reimagining it. We carry our culture and our past with us, but do they need to remain as they were? or could these memories and past lived experiences be curated and pieced together into something new. my work explores how to create new cultural memeories, where the past is something that was, but is still untold, and reimagine it into a new and complete narrative.
