About Me

Designer | Maker | Researcher | Climate Activist | Vital Materialist | Anti-Capitalist | Feminist | Queer | Dog Mum | Lover of Silliness

I am a multi-disciplinary designer who values sustainability, curiosity, whimsy, and collective care (for humans and non-humans both).

Services

Freelance Speculative Design

We can’t do what we can’t imagine. I apply my particular skill-set to envision possible futures in concrete ways, therefore facilitating conversation among your audience via a physical or digital product.

Upcycled Collections

As a practice of combining my vital materialist philosophy with my love of making, I create unique, one-off collections of upcycled products. These capsule collections explore breathing new life into materials, encouraging you to love them again, and again.

Always fun. Always ethical. Always shifting.

Research & Workshops

As an academic and theorist, I complete design research within the areas of speculative design, sustainable futures, and mainstream mindsets.

I also facilitate workshops or talks on these topics.
