An inter disciplinary designer with a hybrid profile on a mission to improve everyday life for people and the planet. With a blend of physical and digital technologies, arts, and sensations to empower citizens through artefacts and storytelling.

With a background in product and furniture design and a Master in Design for Emergent futures I work hands on with a natural engagement in visualisation and form focusing on social and environmental issues.

An analytical problem-solver with a desire to understand how things fit together in a greater context where finding patterns and connections in complex situations and systems become possibilities for reforming and improving. With interests in research, psychology, well-being and function I seek to localise the core and essence of a problem or situation, working with solutions where the sum of parts, materials, space, objects and people come together as a whole.

My fight lies in creating a balance in the relationship between humans and nature and all that is in-between. Working with materials, production methods and communities to create regenerative environments.
