About me
Within one year I progressed from designing lighting and line-ups for Jagermeister’s ‘Haus Parties’ to being an employed creative at their agency and covering during the lead creative's absence, ideating and directing global videos. Graduating with First Class Honours in Interaction Design Arts from UAL (LCC), I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer primarily working in art direction and creative strategy for brands & live events. I have created my own design studio; synthesis which specialises in immersive design for nightlife, and received initial funding in winning Jagermeister’s national save the night fund 2024. Most recently I art-directed my synthesis design team to create audio-reactive stage visuals and interactive installations for multiple 1,500 capacity sold out club events.

    BA (Hons) Interaction Design ArtsLondon College of Communication, UAL
    Elephant and Castle, London, UK
    I graduated with a First-Class degree in Interaction Design Arts from UAL, where my work focused on merging interactive technology with immersive experiences. My graduation piece was a playable drumkit that controlled live visuals, allowing people in the gallery to trigger and manipulate visuals in real-time. This project demonstrated how nightlife could be innovated through interactive performance. Alongside this, I developed Synthesis, an immersive events brand that reimagines clubbing by integrating interactive AV experiences. Performing with the drumkit at Synthesis events became a core part of this vision, showcasing how technology can enhance audience engagement in nightlife spaces.

    Winner: save the night fund 2024 (national competition)Jägermeister UK
    It all started with my experience as a Jägermeister ambassador, where I saw ways their ambassador program could be improved. This led me to explore nightlife innovation more broadly, recognising the need for more interactive and immersive experiences aimed at gen-z audiences. These insights became the foundation for Synthesis, a studio focused on reimagining nightlife through AV design and interactive club experiences. The pitch won funding, allowing Synthesis to launch its first experimental events and develop its unique approach.
