Designer Profile

Iokia Bongers

Hi!

My name is Iokia Bongers and I am a designer at iokiab Design & Innovation.

I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and have a bachelor of design with honours in Interior Architecture.

I have always been interested in all disciplines of design and the creative industry and particularly passionate about interior architecture and the built environment, and how much of an impact design can have on humans as we exist in and interact with space.

Ever since learning about Phygital design during my studies, it has fascinated and inspired me to widen my thinking and find ways to allow humans to interact and be further immersed into the built environment using digital technology and continue to close the gap between physical and digital.

Introduction

Phygital design bridges the gap between the physical world which we live in and the digital world that is becoming a more prevalent part of our loves daily, to bring new, innovative, and immersive experiences that aren’t possible in just the physical world.

Technology such as Virtual reality and augmented reality are examples of how phygital design is used to enhance user experiences by providing interactivity and creating a new reality within the physical world around us.

Phygital design is changing the way we see special design and the opportunities for the boundaries to be pushed further within the next 20 years are endless.
