About

I am an inclusive design researcher, product designer, fashion designer, and design lecturer. 

In the last year I have relocated back to my hometown of Belfast, where I am a resident at Blick Studios. Here I work freelance on the workshopping and prototyping of a variety of inclusive design projects. 

I lecture part-time at NCAD in Dublin on their Circular by Design MA. I guide students through design practices and speculative fashion systems that care for each other and our environment. 

I am finishing the writing of my practice-based PhD thesis with NTNU in Norway, where I have studied and worked for the last 8 years. Through this research I explored, with neurodivergent communities, how to design more sensory nourishing environments. This website documents this expansive project journey. 

At the heart of my practice is the relationships that I build with people’s lived experiences. I believe in co-creating knowledge collaboratively to improve people’s quality of life. I carry this ethos into product development through embodied ethnography, iterative prototyping, and testing with those who resonate with the products in their everyday life.
