A digital creative, learning new tech n' tools as I goc
I WAS BORN AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY, DURING THE WARMTH OF THE URUGUAYAN SUMMER…
THEN THE TIME CAME TO FLY THE COOP AND FIND MY OWN WAY AND PLACE IN THIS WORLD.
THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD I MOVED COUNTRIES SEVERAL TIMES, COLLECTING MEMORIES, LANGUAGES AND THE ABILITY TO ADAPT AND CONNECT WHEREVER I AM …
I TOOK A YEAR OUT OF UNI TO LIVE IN LEEDS, WORKING AS A UX INTERN FOR A GAMING PLATFORM WITH OVER 18 MILLION PLAYERS WORLDWIDE!

" I've had the pleasure of working with Giorgi, whose impact this year has been nothing short of outstanding. From leading high-profile UX initiatives and delivering under intense timelines, to mentoring students and championing inclusion through the LGBTQ+ Employee Network, Giorgi consistently brings strategic thinking and collaboration to everything she does. Her work on a range of projects for Consumer, Business and Brand, showcased her ability to drive excellence and influence outcomes across the business.

Immersive Installation Support
Peckham Festival for Creative Computing
I had the chance to speak with artists, academics, creative technologists, researchers and students from a wide range of disciplines, all exploring how technology can be used not just as a tool but as a medium for expression and connection.
I experimented with AI and AR tools, live-coded visuals, and built a sound-reading device that transforms textures from our surroundings into audio. I left inspired to keep exploring where technology meets memory, imagination, possibility and feeling.

VR Guide Volunteer
Digital Bodies Festival
I supported diverse audiences interacting with immersive VR installations, tailoring onboarding for accessibility and comfort. This gave me a first-hand insight into how users experience and emotionally respond to VR environments and motion-based interactions.
I was invited to the Marshmallow Laser Feast's studios in Hackney Wick for an induction into their immersive experience and had the chance to get to know more about their body of work and how they create.
