about

With a focus on new and emerging technologies, I have developed a practice that aims to provoke dialogues around issues of the social, cultural and environmental, allowing me to merge my design skills with a broader set of interests. Engaging with questions surrounding our relationships to each other and the environment we live in, my explorations are designed to raise questions rather than offering a solution to the many problems that we face. In my work I employ a range of objects, performance, digital media, graphics, animation and food to engage the public with the good, the bad and the ugly of future technologies.
