Research Overview

?I am a design researcher, game designer, coder, and data scientist. I find passion for tech adjacent research entangled in sustainability, rethinking the world of work, communities, systemic design, alternative futures, speculation, fun, talking to people, and creativity.

My research practice centres:

1) research through games design and creative methods for exploring system complexity

2) designing carbon-aware, sustainable, and just futures with communities

3) alternative and creative approaches for evaluating sustainability, systems and services

4) facilitating different conversations

Topics of interest: energy demand reduction; sustainable last mile logistics; games; carbon accounting; fair and just gig economy work; alternative futures; co-operatives
