I’m a London-based designer working across furniture, installation, and critical design.

 

As a graduate of Central Saint Martins (BA Product & Industrial Design) and recently the Royal College of Art (MA Design Products), my practice explores themes of queer identity, domesticity, memory, and belonging. My work seeks to challenge normative understandings of social concepts by transforming everyday design elements into sites for reflection and alternative ways of relating.
