About

Hi! I'm Michal Shoshan, a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of interactive design, creative coding, and storytelling. Alongside my artistic practice, I bring over five years of experience as a Product Designer, specializing in transforming complexity into clarity. I blend user research, product strategy, and creative technology to craft tools, narratives, and systems that resonate on both functional and emotional levels.

I studied Visual Communication at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and am pursuing my Master’s at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). My work lives at the intersection of design, narrative, and emerging tech — from AI-powered tools and speculative interfaces to experimental games and immersive environments.
