My practice has three interconnected strands: museums, jewellery, and visual art. I’m exploring the connections between these seemingly disparate subjects, particularly how museums, creativity, and design can serve as powerful tools for connecting people.
Recognising the importance of accessibility on an individual’s own terms, I’m keen to explore how we could make museums and galleries more inclusive for neurodivergent audiences. By exploring co-design and co-curation, I aim to cultivate a sense of ownership and connection, ensuring that collections remain relevant and meaningful for future generations.
My fascination with objects and jewellery design stems from their ability to tell stories. Jewellery holds a unique significance—small, durable, and precious, these objects can be passed down through generations, accumulating new layers of meaning over time.
As a neurodiverse individual, I am a visual thinker, and drawing is an essential tool for navigating and exploring my ideas. I use drawing as a means of communication, helping to visualise and share concepts in a way that makes complex ideas more accessible and engaging.
I’d be delighted to connect with others who share similar interests and please feel free to get in touch for a conversation.
