I design immersive XR interactions, digital experiences, and visual systems that make exploration intuitive.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I've designed immersive digital experiences across XR, interaction design, and visual systems. As a Technical Interaction Designer and Texture Artist, I co-engineered a portal-based method for embedding 33 STYLY WebXR scenes in a multi-user VRChat environment and built Unity interactions for navigation, teleportation, object grabs, and gaze triggers.
At RMIT University's International Club, I led an interactive Taiwan Shilin Night Market experience for a virtual cultural fair that engaged 200+ visitors, with 80% completing its narrative puzzle sequence. My work has also been recognised through QUT's Design Research Award and exhibitions including Brisbane Art Design Week and ISEA 2024.
