Hola!
From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the act of creation: creating ideas, art, memories, and ventures. This fascination led me to study Business Administration, because building a company allows you to create something larger than yourself; something that can impact more people than you could ever reach alone.
After spending several years immersed in the start-up world, where technology often plays a central role, I grew appreciative of that environment. Yet I also noticed how ideas are frequently shaped (or limited) by market expectations, efficiency, and financial considerations. Your creativity is constantly measured against feasibility and approval.
Picture from my first investment in a battery recycling plant called Back to Battery.
That realization made me especially happy with my decision to pursue a masters in CriT. Here, I still get to create, but with more room to explore ideas freely. I use technology and design not as an end goal, but as tools to express what I value most: thinking deeply about societal issues and transforming those insights into compelling narratives.
For me, the most fulfilling part of creation is the journey from concept to meaningful experience, where thought becomes story, and story becomes something others can feel.
Never lonely again
This is the documentary I have made for my high school graduation project, where I explored loneliness in older adults and the role of social robots in reducing it. (It’s the project I discussed in class)
