interests & goals
The focus of my interest lies in the field of interactive media. Throughout my studies, I have completed coursework and taken part in projects that confirmed and deepened my interest in this subject.
From digital art to interactive advertising, all kinds of media rely on the ability to communicate ideas effectively. For this to happen, the interaction needs to be thoughtfully shaped especially during the conceptual process. This is where I want to step in. I see myself working in a creative environment, being in charge of projects that pose a challenge and require innovative thinking and problem-solving.

conception, interaction design, media arts, user experience, tangible interfaces etc.

background
During my exchange and Master studies in London, I broadened my cross-cultural knowledge by learning about cultures, organisations, people and myself, not from a tourist's point of view but as an active member of the university's community. I chose to go abroad because I wanted to try out something new, I owe this cultural adventurousness to my childhood, during which I was lucky to experience various cultures and become trilingual. Thanks to the strong ties I have to my parents' families in Mexico and Pakistan, I am keenly aware and proud of the rich cultures I come from. This has been particularly helpful in giving me a sense of identity and making me always want to explore new environments and expand my intellectual horizon.
