about

Short bio

I am a design researcher working across Human-Building Interaction, design research, architecture, and emerging technologies. My doctoral research explores how domestic spaces and technologies reshape one another through the agency of residents, architects, and heritage values in historic neighbourhoods.

I use empirical, speculative, and co-design methods to develop practice-oriented design knowledge. My broader interests include human-environment relations, disaster resilience and recovery, future-oriented design, more-than-human approaches, emerging technologies in built environments, and interdisciplinary teaching and facilitation.
