Available to hire
I am a designer and researcher working at the intersection of artistic research, material experimentation, sensorial anthropology, and funerary practices. My work explores regenerative approaches to burial through biofabricated textiles, decomposition analysis, and ritual design, integrating more-than-human perspectives and embodied sensorial design.
I extend speculative approaches to grief and death care beyond visual and material realms, with particular attention to scent, memory, and other sensorial ecologies. Through collaborative, research-through-design methods, I prototype deathcare experiences and investigate how matter becomes shared knowledge across human and non-human worlds.
