About me

I’m a multidisciplinary creative based in London with interests spanning from creative problem solving, through to design, film and photography. As a graduate from Goldsmiths University in BA Design, I have a deep understanding in design thinking and how the subject can be applied in larger contexts to influence and engage others. I’m a natural people person, able to work both by myself and within teams. My creative practice is rooted around a human centred approach, always putting the user first and designing outwardly from a combination of first and second hand research. Due to my varied work experience over the years, I am flexible, punctual and able to successfully manage both my own time and others to achieve the best final outcome.

  Body Language of Hostile ArchitectureSome spaces are for us – as users of spaces, they welcome us in, they are friendly and catered for our fragile human form – others are hostile to us. Spikes stick out from the ground, ledges resist our arses, bridges hurry us across, and metal bars stop youths from skateboarding throughout cities.​ The Body Language of Hostile Architecture explores the relationship between our bodies and the architecture around the city of London. The designed artefacts aim to overcome some of the more uncomfo
• ReversalReversal sets out to critique our urban cityscapes and highlight the inclusivity set out by the architecture within our built environments. The project stems around a helmet that allows the user to experience a reversed perspective, in which the users vision, senses and physical actions must be adapted to suit the distorted reality. The helmet functions via a screen in front of your eyes, that is fed the video stream via a GoPro mounted to the back of the helmet. Simple tasks become significan

  Cook (Not) Like Your Mother - Tate Britain WorkshopOn July 2018, Cook (Not) Like Your Mother took part in Tate's Britain Common Ground, that was designed by Something & Sons.  Cook (Not) Like Your Mother transformed into an open workshop where visitors of all ages (almost) could come and share their mom's recipe and together they created a new recipes book.

Education

BA(Hons) DesignGoldsmiths, University of London
Sep 2016 - Aug 2019London, United Kingdom
Studying BA Design at Goldsmiths University taught me to be critical and aware of my surroundings, external environments and how these experiences and influences constantly shape and affect my practice. I have developed a deep understanding in and outside of education of how creative subjects can be used as a tool to influence, engage and educate others.
