Between Research & Making
I’m a design researcher and practitioner whose work spans creative agencies, contract design, and research collectives within the tertiary sector. Working across these different environments has allowed me to develop a practice that moves between research, visual communication and creative design.
I’m drawn to the connection between research and creative practice, particularly how curiosity, questioning and exposure to diverse perspectives can challenge and influence how ideas are developed and communicated.
My approach to my work is human centred with curiosity and a willingness to explore, using research and experimentation to develop ideas. I value design that has intention behind it, while leaving room for discovery and new ways of thinking.
Design for purpose. Design for good.
