About me
I received a Ph.D. from the University of Western Australia in 2011. My Ph.D. abstract was peer-reviewed by the Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) e-journal and was deemed one of the highest-ranked for 2012. My research interests include the nexus between practice and discourse in both contemporary art and design, critical design practice, practice-based research, visual communication, interactivity, new materialism, actor-network theory, digital aesthetics, and human-machine relations.
As principal for BoxCudos Design, I also consult in communications design, book design, identity design, and web design for cultural, not-for-profit, and corporate clients.
