I’m a multi-disciplinary creative practitioner, orbiting the spaces between art, science, exhibit, experiment and experience design. My practice explores the edges of 'not knowing' and is audience centred. I hope to shift power by enabling collective curiosity and imagination.

Looking after the vision and content for We The Curious - one of the UK's leading interactive science centres. I led the transformation from At-Bristol Science Centre to We The Curious with a manifesto for building a culture of curiosity. We the Curious is an idea and a place for everyone - removing boundaries between science, art, people and ideas. Placing science at the heart of culture, and science centres as socially relevant resources for their cities and communities.

Working across a wide range of projects with Lottolab Studio, the world's first public perception research lab.

I also helped to develop and produced The Experiment - an immersive neuroscience event in a Victorian dungeon in London, where the experiments are the experience - a pilot for a new model for scientific research.
