• Hello! I am a designer, maker and creative facilitator with a track record of activating world-class architectural interventions that create change towards a sustainable future. I am excited by new materials, innovative fabrication processes and I am keen to play my part in ecological reparations having worked for ten years in the NGO sector and not only learnt about the scale of challenge we face but that design can change the world.

    I am currently studying for a PhD Arts and Computational Technology with my speculative design project Sonic Ecologies. I use machine learning to analyse acoustic datasets and create speculative soundscapes on the future of nature.

    I run a small design and fabrication studio with a talented team of creative collaborators. I enjoy designing and making sculptures and installations for arts and culture that are immersive, creative, thoughtful, playful and tell a story.

    I am driven by ethical and sustainable values. I run my studio on antiracist, queer feminist principles, and love to work on projects that reflect these values too.
