2020 I am working as an artist and research in a Residency at Tallinn University as part of the STARTS.EE art and science residency program. Together with a theatre director, we work under the theme of 'how to wear sensations'. We combine e-textiles, gamification, physiological computing in a theatre context, and work on an interactive embodied theatre experience. In that project, I, as an e-textile designer, develop multi-sensory wearable and spatial e-textiles that will mediate the story and be used as tools to interact with the story. (Tallinn, Tallinn University).

2019–2020 I took part in the project of artist Dr. Ellen Pearlman for which she took the support of the VERTIGO project as part of the STARTS program of the European Commission. The project is titled as AIBO: A. I. Brainwave Opera which had its world premiere in February 2020 in Tallinn. I designed the costume which was connected to an EEG Headset to control the lights embedded onto the costume by the emotional state of the performer.

2019 Participation in 'TASE', graduation exhibition with the master thesis project. Title of the exhibited work: AURA-altering self-perception through interactive light-emitting textiles (Tallinn, Estonian Academy of Arts).

2018–2019 Textile Design Department Exhibition, Title of the exhibited work: Memory Space (Haapsalu, Haapsalu Linnagaleriis).
