About me
Hi! I'm Abi a multidisciplinary designer and creative based in London with experience spanning architectural and interior design, fashion, visual merchandising, 3D visualisation and events. I have worked with industry leading luxury brands to create compelling designs that have had great success within the retail space, as well as smaller and independent brands who are looking for more of a personal touch. Along side this work I am heavily involved in the independent experimental design project Playbody - an event that explores the intimate relationship between the body and architecture through an interactive and immersive installation designed to celebrate queer and marginal communities. I absolutely love what I do, having almost an unhealthy obsession with design and all things creative! However, in recent years I have also developed a keen interest and passion for gender politics and the impact of body variation. I am currently conducting research on how these topics effect architectural and fashion design, with plans to publish in the near future. Please feel free to get in touch regarding collaborations, working together, or simply just for a chat!
