Communication Design + Research
Hello, Lucy here. I’m a practising communication designer and researcher with a background in philosophy. I also teach yoga!
Current Research
My research explores artistic and scientific techniques for mapping the air we breathe. Ultimately, the aim of my research is to make air personal and political using maps. I call this multidisciplinary field of knowledge ‘Atmospheric Cartography’.

I spent my undergraduate ‘year abroad’ in France and Spain. The year involved a six-month translation internship in Neuilly–sur–Seine, Paris, followed by a five-month ERASMUS programme in Fine Arts at the Universidad de Vigo, Galicia. Since then, I have volunteered for an NGO in Peru and backpacked across Mexico with local friends.
Research Interests: breath, phenomenology, embodiment, multi-species storytelling, entanglement, atmosphere, new materialisms, sensory maps, first-person geographies, citizen-science, cultural climatology.
