Building the future of AR/VR

Ever since encountering AR for the first time, I decided I wanted to be at the forefront of this exciting technology with a huge potential impact on society and the way it brings people closer together. I believe the future of these technologies is built on finding answers to meaningful questions that identify the benefits of AR/VR to create products with impact.

My goal is to explore future AR/VR applications that delight and inspire in problem spaces that are meaningful and novel – Leveraging the unique advantages of these technologies to radically change current processes that best support the end-user.

Key Skills

AR/VR Experience

I specialise in finding innovative ways to use emerging technologies to solve current problems and how they could have a real impact on people with a focus on building immersive user experiences. My focus is on industrial applications with an emphasis on supporting human cognition and perception that help establish new fundamentals in how we interact in AR/VR.
