My research focuses on the intersection of design, technology, and culture, with a particular emphasis on environmental sustainability, systems thinking, and social innovation. Through my research and practice, I am driven by a desire to leverage design as a tool for rehabilitation and fostering environmental sensitivity.
I have presented my work at both international and local conferences, including the Relating Systems Thinking and Design (RSD) Symposium in 2023 at Georgetown University, Washington, DC, and the Design and Technology Teachers’ Association (DATTA) Conference in 2022, Brisbane.
