Born in Lithuania, 1978. Live in Tel Aviv, Israel.
First of all: MAKER is the best description of what I want to become.
I had final arts orientation at school and also finished BA in Industrial design + MA in Integrated design studies at HIT, Holon, Israel.
I’ve been working a lot on stages as lighting designer, operator and technical director. Mostly I create lighting for ballet and theatre. I have passion for problems solving and for creation of musical objects - luthier from trash. Crucial member of “Guerrilla Lighting” activity in my country.
I see interactions between objects and people, spaces/environments and practices/experiences as a web of choices/connections that have been made often top-down by designers and architects. Sometimes wise and sometimes terrible choices. I focus on enviromental and social aspects of design.
For me, FabLabs have The Vision of how should the education and the prosuming (producing/professional + consuming) look like in current era. Fablab Foundation practices some values that I find also my personal and professional drives. In FabLab I push myself from the comfort zone in to great and unknown of learning, growth and creation. I believe that design has to become property of common, not saved for professionals. Designing process has also very powerful educational profits. As environmental/sustainable designer I share my ideas and wish to work in collaboration.
