Combining Design, Science & Storytelling to Build Interactive Experiences
Hi, I'm Ashley
I'm an interdisciplinary designer with a background in Communication & Multimedia Design and a deep fascination for physics. After creating projects in 3D, VR, and storytelling, I’m now studying Engineering Physics to better understand the universe. My goal is to explore scientific concepts through immersive and accessible design.

Origins of Thought
Free will feels like a given; a fundamental aspect of human existence. But what if every thought, every choice, and every movement is inevitably shaped by prior events?
Origins of Thought is an immersive VR essay that places the user in a contemplative space, where they are confronted with the inescapable chain of cause and effect. Rather than imposing explicit answers, the experience invites interpretation, reflection, and dialogue about the limits of free will.

Terranova
This project investigates how exploring Mars can shift our perspective on Earth and strengthen our sense of environmental responsibility.
This research shows that people are not willing to go to Mars because the nature on Earth is more beautiful, but at the same time, they do not do much to preserve this nature because they only focus on short-term changes instead of long-term consequences.
