Designing with virtual reality
'In high school, I created virtual reality environments. That was the start of my relationship with VR as a technology and how it can be used in artistic ways. I've learned from so many people across different industries. From design theory about tangible media fabrication software, to creative coding. There's so much tech available at QUT, which opened up all my options.'

Combine your passions
'I chose to study a double degree in interaction design and computer science because I’ve always loved creating experiences that make technology feel clearer and more enjoyable. The double degree felt tailor-made for me, allowing me to design intuitive interfaces while also understanding how everything works behind the scenes. The course gives me the freedom to create, experiment, and bring ideas to life in a way that feels rewarding and aligned with my future goals.'
