About

I am an interdependent digital designer, currently based in London.

I am a member of Common Knowledge, a worker cooperative that designs digital tools for and with grassroots activists.

I teach Digital as part of the BA Graphic Communication Design course at Central Saint Martins.

I am also part of the Designers + Cultural Workers branch of United Voices of the World.

I have led digital design projects for a range of organisations in Australia, The Netherlands and the UK, most recently as digital art director at Future Corp.
