WORK HISTORY
Assistant Professor in Design @Sfu School Of Interactive Arts & Technology
Vancouver, BC, CA
Working at the intersection of design, anthropological futures, and narrative environments, my research investigates how design can be used as a method for actively engaging publics in unveiling present realities and future possibilities. Drawing on tactics of speculative intervention and value-sensitive design my practice explores the potential for the imaginary as a design tool for social change. My work has been featured at the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon, in the Porto Design Biennale, Helsinki Design Museum, Design Museum London, London Design Festival, Milan Furniture Fair and the Victoria & Albert Museum. I am co-director of the Imaginative Methods Lab, an international working group developing practices and tools to re-imagine design research.
