London-based multidisciplinary designer with experience in working on projects ranging from experience & interaction design to graphic design and animation.
Recent graduate from the MA programme Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art. Has exhibited work at venues such as Sónar+D, Barcelona, the Royal Academy, London, and IRCAM, Paris, as well as showcasing short films in several film festivals such as Encounters, Regensburg Short Film Week and Etiuda & Anima.
Enjoys challenging projects with fast learning curves, and since joining the RCA, has grown from being a traditional filmmaker and graphic designer to working
with web- and games design, sound art and basic electronics.

- Absolut Black Box – "Frequency""A black box in science, computing, or engineering is a device, system or object with inputs and outputs that do not communicate any knowledge of its internal workings. Contemporary computers, phones, algorithms, even the human brain, and many other things can be considered black boxes." During May and June 2016 I worked on a project along with my classmate Robert Thorpe that was offered to the Information Experience Design MA programme at the Royal College of Art. The project, which was kindly
- No Flares Just LightClient project for the Nigerian Pavilion at the first London Design Biennale showcased at Somerset House. I constructed a high-res map of Nigeria using image data from Google Earth showing both a current view of Nigeria's Port Harcourt area and the surrounding gas flares (using data from gasflaretracker.ng) and a "utopian" version, where the energy from the gas flares would be used to light up roads and towns around the country. This was a collaboration with Shobhan Shah who added the map imager
- Sonifying Noise PollutionRoad traffic is one of the main sources of noise pollution in cities, and its impacts on human health are well documented. “Sonifying Noise Pollution” is a self-initiated data visualisation project I made using Max MSP to sonify noise pollution data from road traffic sources, based on data obtained from the European Environmental Agency. With this project, I wanted to highlight the extent of noise pollution from road traffic sources in the UK, and highlight how certain industrial towns such as S
- Doppler MachinePart of my work at the RCA has been investigating our sonic environment by developing a series of sonic objects that modify sound in different ways. As Kenya Hara states in his “Designing Design”, design should also be about “making the known unknown”, and by reintroducing sonic phenomena in a new and interesting way, I hope to show people in greater detail how sonic effects are actually created, and how they may thus be manipulated in modern composition. Inspired by pieces such as Luigi Russolo
- Bubble Journey GameBubble Journey is a 2D endless scroller computer game where you play as a bubble and attempt to avoid all the fish and the cliffs around you as the bubble grows bigger for every coin you collect. The game was created as part of a one-week workshop on game making at the Royal College of Art, and was a collaboration between Wan Tseng, Elliot Rogosin, Tom Selby and myself. We only had 3 1/2 days of development time, but we still managed to create a fully functional game by the end of the week whic

- Big Bang ARThe story of our universe in mixed reality, in collaboration with CERN. Nexus worked with Google Arts and Culture and CERN to produce a mixed reality journey through the birth and evolution of the universe, as told by Tilda Swinton. The Big Bang AR app takes you back in time 13.8 billion years to discover how space, time and the visible universe came to be. Open your hand in front of your phone’s camera to see the universe form; move between ‘reality’ and ‘space’ mode, create the very first

Education
MA Information Experience DesignRoyal College of Art
- London, United Kingdom
Having done a BA in Animation, I started my first year on the MA Animation course, but transferred half-way through to the Information Experience Design course, expanding my practice from traditional filmmaking and graphic design to include sound art, games design and electronics.
Projects during my time here included a multi-sensory installation commissioned by Absolut, an interactive sound map, programming for a small 2D game, sonic performances at various London venues with the project "Sonic Ensemble", and multiple collaborations with students from the Royal College of Music.
Software and new skills learned:
Max MSP, Processing, Arduino, Unity, DMX lighting, soldering, basic electronics
