DESIGN IS TO DISCOVER A QUESTION THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED.

My research interests have revolved in contributing to a deeper understanding how individual decision-making influences visualization & information receiving process in both digital and physical environment, and vice versa. Human Behavior is often influenced by numerous factors and processes information differently. I employ scientific data to sculpt visual components, develop survey tools, and analyze data sets to better understand human behavior and emotion play in visual perception and decision-making process in order to create a sustainable knowledge and a sustainable visual commutation forms and proposes brighter possibilities of whole lifestyles.
