I combine art with design, and poetry with play, to create tactile and responsive experiences. I aim to delight and engage on a visceral level, through a journey of colliding realities and impossible worlds.
BIO
As multi award-winning artist, interactive designer and creative director I have established myself as an internationally-renowned creator and pioneer of unique genre-defining digital experiences.
My work has attracted notable collaborations with Peter Gabriel, Wes Ball (Maze Runner), MIT, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Brian Froud (Dark Crystal and Labyrinth).
I share my design philosophies at international conferences, festivals, companies, universities and research institutions. My work has been taught and written about by press, thought leaders and academics worldwide.
