I can call myself a ‘Creative Associate (Digital)’ of MAO, which is a fun title. I have been commissioned to lead a pilot digital art piece with the wide-open theme of ‘Creative Uncertainty’. The interactive outcome will be publicly available in Summer 2020.

My Bio
I worked as a freelance website designer and yoga teacher before undertaking an MRes in Communication Design at the Royal College of Art (2018-19). I hold a BA First Class Hons in Philosophy, French and Spanish from Durham University. My irreverence towards the boundaries of scientific and artistic disciplines is both a strength and a weakness.
