I am a creative technologist and social designer working with real-time systems, kinetic installations, and responsive environments. As co-founder of Xperiential Design, I collaborate closely with artists to create interactive artworks, integrating custom hardware, microcontroller-driven electronics, and TouchDesigner-based media systems from the earliest stages of conception.
Trained in social, critical, and participatory design, my practice is rooted in systems thinking, exploring how data, sensing, and feedback structures shape perception, embodiment, and collective experience. My approach is decolonial, integrating Indian mythological frameworks and ancient craft practices with contemporary computation as a critical methodology rather than a fusion aesthetic. I build algorithmically alive systems using sensors, bio-signals, and motion tracking, designing experiences that are somatic, participatory, and relational. Technology functions not as spectacle, but as a structural and narrative medium, receding to foreground perception, attunement, and meaning.
Outside of the studio, I am a performer, educator, and community-builder. I work as a fire performer, collaborate with dancers and theatre artists (including children’s theatre). Music and sound are central to my life, shaping how I design and inhabit spaces. I also teach flow arts and run a makerspace, alongside Xperential, fostering creativity, experimentation, and collective learning. These experiences continually inform my practice, guiding how I design for embodied presence, participation, and interconnected experience.
