Hello! I am a multidisciplinary artist and maker working at the intersection of contemporary art, architecture and design. I have a track record of building award-winning architectural interventions from small-scale public realm installations, to capital projects. I am particularly inspired by projects that create change towards a sustainable future. I am excited by new materials, innovative fabrication processes and I am keen to play my part in ecological reparations.
I run a small design and fabrication studio with a talented team of creative collaborators. I am driven by ethical and sustainable values, and endeavour to run projects that are inclusive, antiracist, queer and feminist. I love to work on projects that reflect these values too.
As an artist, my multidisciplinary practice is titled Sonic Ecologies. I create soundsystems and soundscapes dealing with ecological grief and uncertain futures.
