About

I am an artist, designer, and AHRC-funded Doctoral Researcher at the Reading School of Art and Cardiff University. With a background in industrial and visual communication design, my research reflects insights gained through sustained practice that has accompanied the evolution of the media revolution from its earliest days. This continuous engagement with technological and cultural transformations has shaped my understanding and critical analysis of how these developments influence and shape the human-technology relationship within the contemporary digital culture.

Employing and combining artistic practice and theoretical analysis, she investigates contemporary culture’s personal, social, technological, and political dimensions, addressing themes of power, control, metanarratives, and bias. My mixed-media research and art projects have received awards and have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at art museums worldwide. I published academic peer-reviewed papers and presented my research at international conferences.
