About

I am a 3D experiential designer. I can not only design spaces but also incorporate interaction design, storytelling, and creative technologies into spatial design practice with a focus on sustainability and socially-engaged design. I am interested in designing hybrid narrative environments that encompass AR experiences and mixed reality.

Rescue Peanut is an AR experience at London Aquarium (SEA LIFE) where children can find AR triggers to save a deformed turtle named Peanut entangled by a six-pack plastic ring. The aim is to create empathy towards endangered marine creatures, to make people reflect on their plastic consumption habits and how it impacts on the marine life and ecosystem. There are three steps in the AR experience: finding out about plastic pollution, saving Peanut and cleaning our ocean. Each step is triggered by scanning an image.
