I’m a designer, technologist and educator with a background in architecture, working across spatial, digital and immersive media.

My practice explores how complex systems, from the built environment to cultural knowledge and medical data, can be translated into spatial, sensory experiences that support understanding, care and public engagement.

Through data-driven workflows, spatial capture and collaborative research, I work with scientists, curators, communities and educators to make the unseen perceptible and meaningful. I’m particularly interested in the shared experiential ground between sensory digital storytelling, art, computing and the built environment.

I currently hold the position of Experimental Technology Coordinator at the NExT Lab Accelerator, Melbourne School of Design, The University of Melbourne.
