about

I'm a designer and maker based in Edinburgh, originally from Adelaide, working in the design of interactive installations, events, film and television, and interiors. A foundation in design established through the study of Architecture at the University of South Australia, and 6+ years freelance experience designing, making, and facilitating major cultural projects.

Installations

A full service approach from creative development through to realisation. Built through multidisciplinary collaboration. Crafting renders and visualisation, rapid prototyping, detailed documentation for fabrication, and hands-on fabrication to bring them to life. Since 2022, these installations have toured around Australia, reaching hundreds of thousands of people across SA, VIC, NSW, WA, NT, and QLD.

Client; Pulsing Heart
Premiere; Illuminate Adelaide, 2025

50 giant tubes stand tall around a shipping container, inviting you to reach out and touch them. As the audience spins them, a choir sings. Unique vocal tracks produced by Ekram Eli Phoenix with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs are linked to each tube, allowing the audience to be in control of the soundscape.

HEXADECA invites you to explore a soundscape through play—as each seat spins, it reveals a layer of sound from a series of soundscapes commissioned for the installation.
