• Hello! I am a designer, maker and project manager with a track record of activating award-winning 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.

    As an artist I am engaged in practice-based research with my speculative design project Sonic Ecologies. I am interested in the role of machines in art and I create soundsystems and soundscapes dealing with ecological grief and uncertain futures.

    I run a small design and fabrication studio with a talented team of creative collaborators.

    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.
