Biography

Born in 1985

Through my design work, I construct speculative fictional narratives, performances and social experiments, most of which are inspired from real life narratives and observations.

My parallel worlds set out to challenge societal systems that impact on social behaviorisms, and how such systems shape, manipulate and fracture our identities. Sometimes dark

and sinister, my work challenges the banality of our lives, where we are preoccupied with a constant search for the self by inhabiting multiple identities and disintegrating into the culture

of artificial and commercialised illusions and fantasies.
