I am a creative technologist with a rich fashion background, currently pursuing an MSc in Creative Computing at CCI. My degree focuses on exploring the intersections of art, design, science, and technology, and developing innovative solutions for various industries.
My work explores the capabilities of creative technology to forge narratives that challenge traditional perspectives. Encompassing a range of computing artworks, digital worlds and fashion storylines, my projects leverage the intrinsic symbolism within aesthetics to encourage dialogue around the provenience of our core beliefs. My multidisciplinary approach sets me apart as a versatile and forward thinking creative.
I am eager to explore opportunities in innovative and forward-thinking workplaces, where I can apply my diverse background and skills in creative technology to exciting and impactful projects. I am passionate about finding new ways to combine creativity and technology, and creating sustainable and ethical solutions that enhance the user experience and social value.
