What We Talk About When We Talk About Artists
An experimental newspaper highlighting the works of 18 women in 16 different art fields, from interior design to tattoo art. Each spread responds to the artist it’s dedicated to through its layout and typography. The organised chaos contains found biographies, thoughts, interviews and statistics. It’s designed to be flipped through, flipped around, used as a poster, as a learning device, paying tribute to women artists and inviting the reader to do so too.

A Contemporary Figure of Resistance
This book traces the timeline of witches in Western Europe through its five chapters dedicated to history, visual magic, elements, pop culture and contemporary practices. Each chapter is accompanied by an index and interview with a modern witch or an individual who has met with a spiritual healer. The riso ink used in the printing means that the reader might get their fingers stained in black while flipping through, getting marked by witchcraft, resistance at their fingertips.

Museum Interactives
A short exploration of visitor interaction within the physical and digital exhibition space. The creation and design of curated accompanying playlists make for an atmospheric interaction between human and artwork, through the power of music. The coded website allows for the simple, reflective process of drawing mandalas to become possible in the digital realm, as an accomplice to a fictional exhibition outlining the healing and meditative properties of colours.

Medicine Man / Wellcome Collection
This live brief collaboration project with the Wellcome Collection aims to uproot some of the artefacts in the permanent Medicine Man exhibition from the Western perspective they have been placed in, by bringing their rich cultural backgrounds to the forefront.
By imagining and designing interactive experiences for both children and adults to partake in during their visit, this project hopes to diversify and decolonise the experience of a visitor in a traditional ethnographic museum setting, in both its online and physical realm.

Modern Day Women
Modern Day Women aims to challenge the typical portrayal of women through history by juxtaposing old with new. The 26 photos stuck inside portray people who identify as women, with consideration to their preferred process of portrayal. They mimic old painted portraits, but find their way into the contemporary.
Each photo is a connection between between tradition and a new generation of self-expression. A documentation of the women who surround me—my personal time-capsule of womanhood. And so, the personal becomes political. A celebration of women portraying women.
