A multi-disciplined design & research practice
My Practice
Design & Art direction
I utilise both products and services as mechanisms to discuss issues of socioeconomic and cultural importance.Through this process of immersion and debate I aim to evoke considered implementation of technology in tomorrow's technosocial society.
My work is split between research lead public engagement and comercial brand experience.
Research & Education
I continue to work within education as a visting lecturer and external critique but my research practice now occurs as a part of my commercial work.I develop workshops and labs for brands and distil this work into bespoke publications and film.
