about

My practice is driven by a curiosity for creating spaces and sculptural forms that invite multi-sensory engagement and foster unexpected encounters with the natural environment.

Working in the space between craft and design, I bring together anthropological, holistic, and ontological approaches to research, allowing each project to emerge from a close study of materials, ecologies and interconnected systems.

Through this process, I develop products, installations and spatial experiences that open new ways of thinking - ones rooted in care, co-existence, and collaboration. My work seeks to gently reorient our relationship with the wider world, encouraging attentive, reciprocal and collaborative modes of being within the environments we inhabit.
