I am Professor of Collective Futures and Transdisciplinary practice, based in the School of Art at UWE Bristol. I am currently Watershed's inaugural Researcher in Residence at Pervasive Media Studios. My background spans biology, storytelling and digital participation.

My research fosters collective consciousness—shared ways of understanding the world that emerge when people think and work together—through three interwoven approaches: artistic inquiry, community-led research, and storytelling that both critiques and imagines the earth-making potential of new and emerging creative technologies.

I am co-director of Squirrel Nation with artist, designer and researcher, Caroline Ward, making work that considers co-existence as an ethic. Squirrel Nation have held fellowships and residencies with Manchester International Festival/ Jerwood, INIVA/ Stuart Hall Library and JUSTAI/ Ada Lovelace Institute. Squirrel Nation are alumni of the Stuart Hall Artist and Scholars Network.

I am an accredited Relational Dynamic 1st Coach.
