About

I am a game designer and creative technologist who divides her time between London and Belgrade. I create alternative controller games using Raspberry Pi, Arduino and various sensors. My games explore what it means to have an emotional exchange with a computational system and how our emotions are mediated by technology.

I graduated with a degree in Media Arts and Sciences from Wellesley College in 2015 and completed an MFA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths College in 2019. I am a lecturer in Creative Electronic Engineering at Royal Holloway, University of London.

My projects have been featured in a variety of international games festivals including A MAZE, Jeugdfilmfestival Antwerpen,Game Happens, Interactive Futures, and the Leftfield Collection at EGX Rezzed.
