About Me


INterdisciplinary

research & Design

Hi, my name is Cy Gorman — a designer, researcher, educator, and creative technologist exploring how human and technological systems feel.

I create emotionally intelligent, responsible, and future-oriented design experiences across disciplines. My work combines human-centered research, affective design, resonance (sound/light), AI, and immersive media psychology. I view design as a means for aligning values within incentive systems.

As the founder and principal research and design lead of Nurobodi, I explore intuitive audio-visual interaction frameworks for mood-regulation & wellbeing. This includes furthering UX/UI protocols to better understand and optimise affective resonance feedback loops, creating tools and frameworks that help us move from principles of affective interaction to environments of adaptive attunement.

I have designed and developed industry-benchmark courses for RMIT University, School of Design and Social Context as well as leading interdisciplinary collaborations (RMIT Blockchain/RMIT VX Robotics Lab/RMIT-CSIRO), mentoring students, alumni, researchers and industry professionals through critical, systems-driven, creative and future-focused design processes and procedures.
