design for place-based policy, designing future policies for emerging technologies, strategic design, design and governance, knowledge curation
I am a post-disciplinary researcher and educator whose research and practice centres around past, present and future uses of technologies across the creative and cultural industries. My current research explores the current and future impacts of the data-driven society and AI on and in creative and cultural industries, and how we think about digital data in the curation of art, culture and heritage. I am also interested in how we might use design to explore the use of and collection of digital data in these contexts.
I have a background in design research, sustainable design and maker enterprises, art history, curatorship, digital innovation and more recently in the areas of design public policy. I hold a PhD (EPSRC scholarship) in Digital Innovation (Data Science and Design) from ImaginationLancaster/School of Computing and Communications; MRes in Digital Innovation (ImaginationLancaster/School of Computing and Communications); MA in Museology (Manchester University) and BA (hons) Fine Art (Lancaster University).
