Multidisciplinary designer currently pursuing an MFA in Interaction Design at Umeă Institute of Design in Sweden, having completed a BFA in Industrial Design at the same institution. He is drawn to the ways ecological and social sustainability intersect, and to how design and technology can support real human connections rather than replace them. Conceptually driven, he moves between broad systemic ideas and the small, practical details needed to make those ideas tangible. Above all, he values people in their full complexity: their agency, their dignity, and their capacity for meaningful relationships. His work aims to contribute to realistic, positive visions of a fairer and more sustainable future.

Designer driven by curiosity, systems thinking, and a desire to create meaningful impact. His journey began in mechatronics, where he developed a strong technical foundation before discovering design through a podcast-an encounter that sparked a lasting fascination with the creative process. Since then, he has combined analytical thinking with a human-centered approach, exploring how thoughtful design decisions can improve everyday experiences. His work focuses on bridging technology and people, often addressing real-world challenges through experimentation, prototyping, and storytelling. Brandon is particularly motivated by projects that create positive change, aiming to design solutions that are not only functional, but also engaging, accessible, and socially relevant.
