👏 Hi there
I’m a London-based designer, working on AR, MR and HMD experiences for Meta’s Reality Labs Research.
My work focuses on the emerging use cases that we’ll see over the coming years as we shift from screen-based interfaces to ‘spatial computing’. Prior to that, I’ve worked as a creative director on music startups, massive interactive installations, the first magazines for iPads and weird bendy maps of New York (in the permanent collection at MoMA), for agencies that include BERG, Moving Brands, Pentagram and R/GA. I’ve also spoken at international events around the world, and various European educational institutes. When not staring at a screen, you can find me running reasonably long distances at an OK pace, or arguing the finer points of Swedish death metal. More on Linkedin.
