I am a designer interested in the emergence of collaboration and the benefits that arise from cooperation and working together. I investigate and experiment in practical opportunities where people from different professions and backgrounds come together to collaborate, innovate and create. I am also interested in the ways that designers can have a real impact on social issues and questions of policy. My professional experience spans from graphic design to service and experience design and I am currently completing my MA in Communication Design.

Contemporary dance and the new worlds I get to experience when I am dancing.
