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

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.
