ABOUT

Multidisciplinary designer and creative–
telling better stories with technology

Experience Design

I work with experimental and immersive storytelling technologies including but not limited to: AI, VR, XR, nonlinear film, physical computing, projection mapping, algorithmic art, and spatial audio.

Digital Design

As a designer working independently, collaboratively or leading a team, I have helped large, complex organisations such as the BBC and American Express, solve large, complex design and UX problems by seeking out innovative new perspectives and challenging convention wherever possible.

Research and Writing

Critical analysis and research are integral to my personal practice. I have recently drawn inspiration from Jussi Parikka’s archeological approach to critiquing media cultures and technologies, and Donna Haraway’s situated design methodology for the development of contemporary technologies such as artificial intelligence.
