About
Creative technologist and interactive experience designer with hands-on experience in Unity, Unreal Engine, AR/XR workflows, real-time 3D,
physical-digital prototyping, and interactive installations. Skilled in turning creative concepts into functional prototypes, demos, and audience-facing
experiences across games, exhibitions, spatial media, and emerging technology. Strong background in rapid prototyping, system design, technical
troubleshooting, and collaborative production environments.
MYLIFE is an interactive, large-scale simulation populated by thousands of autonomous agents. Rather than following scripted narratives, each agent acts through interconnected rules governing memory, relationships, reproduction, conflict, and environmental response. Visitors can edit these rules in real time through a “Rule Book” interface, then observe settlements, family networks, population shifts, and social patterns emerge. Built in Unity with custom simulation systems, the work explores how individual behaviors and structural conditions accumulate into complex societies—and asks how much control we truly have over the worlds we create.
