Designing Spaces
My designs center on play, sensory engagement, and public participation. I create installations that invite curiosity, hands-on exploration, and moments of shared discovery.
I collaborate with architects, local government, and education partners to develop artworks that respond to their surroundings and feel welcoming to everyone.
Story-led and play-focused, my pieces spark imagination and encourage people to meet the work halfway, engaging curiosity, interaction, and connection.
Designing Play, Shaping Spaces
I see play as a social and cultural resource, one that shapes how we connect, move, and experience our environments. My work as a play advocate is a form of social design, built on collaboration and systems thinking.
Within local government contexts, I help bridge the gap between policy and lived experience, ensuring children’s voices are genuinely included in the planning and design of public spaces.
I work across strategy, planning, infrastructure, and parks teams to support the development of play-led environments that reflect community needs and values. This involves co-design, consultation, and long-term thinking about how play contributes to wellbeing, cultural identity, and social connection.
A key focus of my practice is working with neurodiverse communities and schools, developing an understanding of sensory needs and how they influence engagement and participation. I explore how design can create environments that are both stimulating and calming, inclusive and adaptable. Sensory diversity is not a barrier, it is a design principle.
Through this approach, I aim to create public spaces that welcome multiple ways of being, thinking, and playing spaces that are authentic, meaningful, and are connected to the communities they serve.
Site Specific
Depending on the key objectives, my work has the scope to be playful, calming or promote more engagement and increase foot traffic. My designs are always site specific, I offer an architectural approach, factoring in the atmospheric light, surrounding features and who uses the space.
Colour Therapy
I have seen first hand the positive impact colour has on the emotional state. While this is known and used in branding and graphic design it is often overlooked in public art. Through the use of symbolism, striking compositions and insightful colour combinations my work effectively uplifts environments.
