I am a Lecturer in Human-Computer Interaction and Interaction Design at Open Lab, 缅北禁地. In my research, I take a co-creative and design-led approach to explore with care the role of digital technologies in our lives. I am interested in envisioning alternatives to dominant narratives and cultures by learning from experiences of making and relating differently with existential, relational and spiritual matters at the core of my process. I also draw from Feminist, Social Justice and More-than-Human discourses to critically inform my work. My ongoing research includes co-designing supportive technologies for self-care and self-management of health conditions; exploring data-driven practices and innovation for community wellbeing; addressing health inequalities in maternal mental health, and investigating the potential of multi-sensory interactions to support spirituality.
Prior to my current role, I was an Innovation Fellow and held a post-doc position at Open Lab working on the EPSRC-funded projects INTUIT ('Interaction design for trusted sharing of personal health data to live well with HIV') and Centre for Digital Citizens. I was initially trained as a designer at the University of the Arts London and the Royal College of Art. I completed my PhD in Design in 2019 where I explored the potential of interactive technologies for cultural heritage. My design-led research focused on engaging the local community in the process of co-creating multi-sensory and digitally-augmented experiences of heritage.
Before working in academia, I led artistic projects funded by Arts Council England and worked in industry as an Interaction Designer, developing exhibition and interactive design for cultural institutions including the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces in the UK, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York (USA).
