I'm a designer and filmmaker, living and working in London. My work centres around using time-based media to expose stories about the production and future of material worlds; typically employing digital animation, but also extending to XR, physical installations, and much more. I'm also a lecturer at the Bartlett, UCL. Please get in touch if you have any questions, I'm always happy to talk!
