Interaction designer and PhD Student

Interaction designer and design researcher, I'm interested in the issues surrounding digital uses, particularly environmental constraints, which I'm exploring as part of my thesis. My design practice is often fieldwork-based.

My PhD explores the transformative effects of digital services’ use on societies, on cognition or on imaginaries, and how these transformations further feed what users, designers and digital infrastructure actors consider as useful and necessary.
