About

Isadora Teles

I'm a creative technologist from Brazil, based in Paris. I research, design, and build interactive experiences, from AI prototypes for Samsung to stage performances where virtual creatures co-create with dancers in real time.

My background spans digital arts, human-computer interaction, and computer graphics. I hold a PhD from Université Paris 8 where I spent six years building autonomous virtual ecosystems for the performing arts. Before that, I made interactive installations, VFX, and wearable electronics across studios and festivals in France, Austria, and Brazil.

Right now at Samsung's Design Innovation Center, I design and build full-stack prototypes: React and Next.js frontends, Python and Node.js backends, multi-agent AI pipelines, real-time 3D viewers, and data visualization tools, alongside leading user research across France, the US, and Korea. I speak Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish, and I've collaborated across teams in five countries.
