Why Digital Media?
I chose the Master of Digital Media program because it allows me to combine my background in interior design and contemporary art with product thinking, AI, and emerging digital technologies. I wanted to move beyond traditional design boundaries and explore how digital tools can expand storytelling, interaction, and human connection.
This program gives me the space to experiment, collaborate, and design experiences that are not only functional, but emotionally engaging and future oriented. My goal is to create meaningful digital products and systems that feel human, intentional, and relevant.
