I am a design researcher specialised in innovation in material technologies. I have spent 8 years working across disciplines, creating collaborations between design, science and crafts to envision smarter and more sustainable material technologies, inspired by nature, enhanced by science, shaped through hands-on experimentation. My project have investigated cross-modal and multi-sensory interactive interfaces, moisture-responsive textile actuators, bio-remediation membranes and bacterial textile coatings for sustainable waterproofing treatments.
