I have a background in design, interactive technology and creative coding. I have extensive experience of a range of creative coding enviroments for creating novel interactive visualisations and experiences. My practice-based research centres around the exploration and use of creative technologies, especially open source environments, within the context of creative data visualisation. I explore the use of code as a way of making and have particular interest in the application of creative technologies, especially open source environments, for creating novel visual expressions and encounters from a wide range of cultural data sources.
I take an exploratory approach towards use of digital technologies (AR and VR), as well as a wide range of other open source interactive technologies.
My research focuses on the design and development of exploratory data visualisation tools for the digital humanities and cultural heritage sectors. I create interactive visual interfaces that enable historians, curators and researchers to analyse complex cultural and historical datasets in new ways. My practice integrates creative coding, interface design and collaborative, design-led methods to produce digital research instruments that support interpretive analysis and sector innovation.
I have worked with national partners, including the Science Museum Group, as Data Visualisation Co-Lead for the AHRC-funded Congruence Engine project. My visualisation tools have supported research into industrial history, scientific-instrument networks, oral-history collections and linked-heritage datasets.
My work spans visualisation, digital storytelling and exploratory interfaces across 2D and 3D environments. Previous projects include Chronotopic Cartographies (AHRC), developing spatial visualisations of literary texts, alongside practice-based explorations of immersive and locative media.
