Romy Aboudarham

I work at the intersection of design and engineering to prototype and build interactive products. With experience as a full-stack engineer and as a design technologist teaching advanced prototyping using robotics, immersive, and AI-driven tools, my practice focuses on reducing the friction between design intent and implementation.
