I’m an award-winning futurist and designer currently working as a Futures Designer at John Lewis Partnership. I hold an MA in Design Futures and Products from the Royal College of Art (RCA), awarded distinctions for dissertations on human needs amidst rapid global modernisation and neuroaesthetics projects.

I use storytelling as a catalyst for change, and my work was showcased internationally at venues like Tate Modern, London Design Biennale, Dutch Design Week, Vienna Design Week, and Design INDABA. I won awards such as Creative Conscience and the Far Futuring Grand Challenge by CERN, Logitech, RCA, and the Art and Fashion Forum. As a speaker, I presented at Kingston University, RCA, University at Buffalo (NY), and Tischner European University
