I work at the intersection of immersive media, AI, and cinematic storytelling, exploring how emerging technologies are reshaping the creative industries. I am the founder and CEO of World XR Forum, and I also contribute to innovation in spatial computing at Sensoryx. As the 2024 resident at Downtown Studio Geneva, I collaborate with filmmakers and creatives to drive AI adoption in real-world production workflows and will soon lead a masterclass on AI’s role in film.
