Collaborative making can be a powerful way of connecting people through and with technology. Over the past 5 years, I've designed, organised and facilitated a number of co-creation sessions and hackathons for this purpose. Whilst topics and creative mediums vary, each event aims to encourage curiosity and empower future action.
I use my design skills and technical knowledge to translate complex topics, such as quantum science or inclusive work practices, into engaging challenges that invite hands-on, creative responses.
I support participants in using a range of physical and digital mediums, from craft materials to code, to make abstract ideas tangible and uncover their relevance in participants' own lives.
As an experienced educator and mentor, I design co-creation events with clear and validated learning goals. My approach prioritises mentorship over instruction, peer learning, and actionable outcomes.
