KA Design
As I designer I feel there is a responsibility to make the world a better place and I like to use play as a design tool to engage people, make a positive impact, and explore the boundaries of possibility.
My areas of interest include: the psychology of creative thinking, designing for public engagement, circularity of materials, emerging trends in technology, and sustainability.
