Lisbon-based creative developer specializing in interactive installations and real-time generative visuals. Width a multidisciplinary approach that merges design and art through creative coding and visual programming, producing responsive environments that evolve through human interaction and data. From large-scale LED installations to motion-tracking experiences.
I develop coded visual systems that transform abstract concepts into engaging, immersive artworks. My generalist technical expertise enables me to navigate projects from conceptual development through technical execution.

CV
ANIMA IKI INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION 2014
A digital sculpture of sound and light that explores the relationship between itself and its surroundings. Anima consists of a giant sphere, a 360º interactive installation that invites the audience to investigate and be immersed in a surreal dialogue.
Fluid patterns flow around its surface while deep tones oscillate in the room. The installation keeps redefining its visual complexity and behaviour by shifting shapes and colours while reacting to human presence in the space
