About me

I am a musical instrument designer, researcher, and audio-visual artist working at the intersection of creative computing, accessibility, and community music-making. At the core of my practice is a commitment to inclusive design without reduction, developing highly adaptable systems that empower neurodivergent and disabled communities with profound musical agency.

​

Rooted in a classical percussion background, my technical practice has evolved to encompass machine learning, sensor integration, and real-time audio-visual systems. I have designed latency-critical interactive works and AI-generated visuals for international institutions, including the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. As a Teaching Assistant in the MA Computational Arts programme at Goldsmiths, University of London, I support the teaching of physical computing and immersive technologies, ensuring my creative work is grounded in robust, cutting-edge engineering.

​

Currently, my research bridges academic inquiry and grassroots facilitation. I serve as a Research Assistant on the UKRI-funded Technologies of Touch project (led by Prof. Atau Tanaka), testing real-time AI audio models.

 

Simultaneously, I am the Lead Researcher for the JOS Music System, a practice-based, participatory project part-funded by Drake Music. Building on years of dedicated community work, from True Colors Symphony in Hong Kong to Joy of Sound in London, I strive to build technological pathways that adapt to the musician's body, transforming accessibility into true artistic expression.
