A polymath, anti-disciplinary Artist, tech Futurist and Activist who’s work explores the anatomy of transformation and innovation.
My work sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom, living systems and indigenous community practices, digital and emerging technologies all under the philosophical idea and systems framework that I developed called cyborg shamanism. (To find out more about this follow this link).
I am currently an Artist in Residence at SBCAST (The Santa Barbara Centre for Art Science and Technology). I was recently an Artist in Residence on two programmes, The Design Science Studio (Buckminster Fuller Institute) and the Living Collaboratory between the Design Science Studio and the Emergent Media Lab at The University of California Irvine.
In 2021 and 2020, I was long-listed as one of the Most Influential Women in UK Technology. In 2019, I was recognised as one of TED Talks Global Emerging Innovators. In 2018, I was recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Leaders in Technology.
An enthusiastic curator of people, patterns and stories I take a philosophical and anthropological approach to technology; merging logic and creativity to design immersive storytelling, learning and development environments and ecosystems. Transforming my clients and audiences into critical thinkers, philosophers and immersive storytellers, problem-solvers. Innovators.
I have over 20 years experience in transforming cultures to nurture decentralised humanity-centred (and now increasingly planetary-centred) innovation environments. Some of my previous clients and partnerships have included Google, Unilever, Sainsbury's, Oath, Ogilvy Labs, The British Council, The EU Council, The Tate Modern, the British Film Institute (BFI), The Union Chapel, Burning Man Camp: Playground, ArabNet Dubai, Innovate Finance, Wayra UK, The Friday Club, The University of The Underground, and Shambala Festival to name a few.
