About Me

I am a computer geek, artist and photographer born and raised in Canada.

I completed my H.BSc. in computer science and fine art at the University of Toronto. After having worked in software and web development in Toronto and Stockholm, Sweden, I went for my MDes in Interaction Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s School of Design, which I have just recently finished in July 2009.

My research interests are in ubiquitous and affective computing and more specifically, the role of emotive interfaces in facilitating engaging and meaningful social communication by sensing and responding to user intentions and actions. I aim to structure interfaces and everyday objects around human behaviour by using emotions as the interaction mode to facilitate communication and collaboration.
