WORK
 I’ve made video games, designed apps for banks, built design systems for scale-ups, run co-creative research with young people, and developed brands for non-profits. I’ve led teams on hundreds of projects—like making a gallery audio guide, exploring public transit sounds, and building digital services for government.
