Residence Plan
The danger of artificial intelligence is not that A.I. will replace us. The danger is that we outsource our thinking capacity to machines that do not understand our human world, and forget to invest in machine AND human learning. With this in the back of my mind, I will create a new piece of research about our relationship with robotics and will focus on nurturing more human learning by organizing a fun, creative activity that allows us to learn from each other.

I'm a socially engaged designer with a curious and daring attitude that shows I'm not afraid to let my voice be heard. The world around us inspires me to work on projects for and about people. Taboos are meant to be broken, and I want to bring up discussion by showing them in a more approachable way. I'm fascinated by the imperfection and rawness in our world, and want to show that with work people can relate to.
