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
How can the exploration of Mars help us better appreciate Earth? TerraNova is a speculative concept set in the futuristic city of New Canterbury (2070), where a fictional company tries to convince users to purchase a ticket to Mars. But as people are invited to leave the planet behind, they’re confronted with what they would lose; Earth’s irreplaceable nature.
The project investigates how immersive media like VR and AR, combined with the psychological “overview effect,” can raise awareness about climate change and shift present bias towards long-term thinking.- Blender
