I am an artist, designer and researcher. My professional practice can be mostly situated within the field of visual communication and graphic design for the arts and cultural institution, with a key focus on learning programmes. I also work as an Associate Lecturer in Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design and Kingston School of Art. I also take on selected publishing, digital and consultancy projects.
My research and output are concerned with the materiality and performativity of language. I currently work with workshop-based formats, using performance, theatre, print and video.
I am part of Autocoscienza Writing Group, a collective working with and promoting the work of Italian feminist and writer Lea Melandri. From 2021 till 2024, together with John Philip Sage, I used to run the workshop DRAMA. From 2018 till 2021, I was also member of the collective Evening Class.
Currently, my practice and research focus on: poetic languages and performance; precarious work; modes of production, reproduction and cooperation. My ongoing interest in trans/feminisms and queer theories and practices contributes to my position.
I am always interested in starting conversations. Email me!
