Personal profile

Biography

I am a designer, researcher and educator working with imagination, experimentation and collective learning in the public realm. My practice and research interests lie in the intersection of creative research and design for policy and social impact. In the last ten years, I have worked with a range of local and international institutions in the development of collaborative and transdisciplinary projects, applying critical and experimental accounts of participatory design, design ethnography, and communication design.

I currently integrate WonderLab's team at Monash Art Design and Architecture as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the development of research on anticipatory practices of co-design and policymaking, funded by the Australian Research Council.
