I’m a designer, researcher, and educator specializing in hands-on collaboration. With a focus on the mutual shaping of people and things, my work explores collective acts of making as sites of negotiation and inquiry. I hold a PhD from Aalto University, where I formalized this interest into a sociomaterial approach for practice-led design research.

I currently work as a Research Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Previously, I directed the undergraduate Design Program at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City and taught studio and research courses at several design schools. I have also been involved as Head of Design, Project Leader, and Designer in Residence across diverse industry contexts.

My practice has generated many kinds of outcomes, which include everyday products ranging from furniture to typefaces, collaborative frameworks developed through experimental workshops and geographically distributed projects, and research methods tailored for data visualization and analysis. This body of work has been awarded prizes, published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at talks and conferences, and shown in galleries, museums, and biennials worldwide.
