Cultural probes, in the form of postcards designed to invite visitors at heritage sites to reflect on their subjective experiences.
Through the metaphor of the dandelion latte - a displacing innovation,
I explore how radical design principles may be applied to create references for planet-centered systems of provisioning.
A listening experience that aims to produce a disorienting dilemma for the purpose of generating epistemic change through transformative learning.
An award-winning sound designer in my previous practice, founded Attic Sound Ltd, where I supervised sound teams for many acclaimed films, TV-dramas, radio programmes and games.
My PhD thesis title is currently 'Design Futuring: Methodologies for regenerative technologies'.
My research will explore how design and HCI can broaden concrete conceptualisations of pluriversal, equitable and diverse narratives for hopeful, liveable futures in tangible and accessible ways. I aim to design artefacts and experimental (meta)design methodologies that allow for original insights, developing a position on design innovation that contributes to debates on climate change adaptation.
I will examine methods for epistemological shifts towards designing from a caring value logic, using Second-order Design Fictions to support a re-imagining of design and innovation without depletion by taking into account consequences (agnotology and causality) across complex systems.
I'm a member of the Design Research Society, the Systemic Design Association, Design Activists for Regenerative Futures and ab__Network.
