About

Evolving digital situations; interventions in the clashes as ethical practice collides with capitalist technological structures.

I’m a critical media artist exploring emerging technologies and examining their cultural impacts. Questioning the orthodoxy of tech, encouraging critique of the frameworks through which we experience it.

Based between London and Glasgow and building on over a decade of experience across creative industry, I’m involved in creative and professional practice with outputs across 2D, 3D and interactive media. From September 2023 to July 2024 I completed an MA in Information Experience Design at the RCA.
