An art and design practitioner and educator with a background in fashion and textiles. Currently a PhD candidate in social design at Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. Drawing on extensive global experience living, studying, and working across diverse cultural contexts, I specialise in arts-based methods and research to evaluate the socio-ecological impact of participatory art. Grounded in constructivism and theories of the public sphere, I am an active coordinator for the Textile Cartographies project, facilitating community-driven platforms that visually communicate local narratives.
