About Me
Hi! I’m a creative technologist, live coder, sound artist and communications producer working across music, code, interactive media and digital culture. My practice explores technology as a tool for creative expression, cultural memory, identity and collaboration through experimental sound, audiovisual performance and interactive experiences.
Working with tools such as Strudel, Hydra, p5.js and Three.js, I explore the relationships between sound, visuals and audience participation, with a particular interest in nostalgia, diasporic cultural memory and creative technology.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work across communications, social media and digital production with Citywire, Peckham Digital and AIxDesign, developing campaigns, producing digital content and supporting community-led projects that connect technology, art and audiences.
