Art, Design, Architecture, Mathematics, Physics, Music, Apparel Re-architecting
I bring an unusually wide-ranging skill set shaped by years of work and study across the arts, design, and the sciences. My background blends the creative sensibilities of art and architecture with the analytical depth of theoretical physics and the precision of software engineering. Many have called me a polymath—something I’ve come to embrace, even if it comes with its own challenge: focus. The ability to pick up new skills quickly and excel in multiple disciplines is a gift, but even the most curious mind can’t pursue everything at once.
I originally trained in Interior and Architectural Design, and early in my career I was honoured with an award from the Royal Society of Arts (2003/4). Since then, I’ve contributed to several high-profile projects as a designer and architectural assistant, including the tricentennial redevelopment of Fortnum & Mason and the landmark One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge.
My facility with complex tools and processes also led me to master advanced 3D modelling software, enabling me to conceive, shape, and visualise intricate design schemes. That journey unexpectedly reawakened my love of mathematics and physics—reminding me how creativity and technical understanding can enrich one another in powerful ways.
Design & Architecture weren’t enough…
I needed to expand my perspective and reconnect with my natural ability and fascination with Maths & Science. After studying for A-levels whilst working in design, I enrolled at UCL to study Theoretical Physics in 2010.
Next came a career as a Software Engineer, allowing me to learn skills that would allow me start experimenting with combining my interests.
Attempt No. 1
I developed a clothing design concept inspired by architectural thinking—an exploration of how garment patterns might be re-architected to form a structured material boundary around the body. The idea, which I titled Biodesic, sought to express the human form by contrasting its organic curves with geodesic, architectural geometries.
Reimagining clothing patterns at this level proved challenging. Even with detailed 3D modelling, achieving an accurate fit remained unpredictable—there’s a reason traditional pattern-making has changed so little over the decades.
The breakthrough came from designing and engineering custom software that could visualise the patterns on a digital body and allow precise fine-tuning of measurements. It became a fusion of fashion, architecture, and computational design—exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary approach that drives my practice.
Fashion… Not quite the right passion
Whilst designing the garments were great and applying Maths, Physics & coding to make it work, something wasn’t driving me to explore this more fully.
Cue music
Music is a huge passion, an art form in its own right and a means of expression both in itself but also when it moves us to express the feeling it creates via dance. Both are incredibly important to me.
Whilst studying Physics, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to create music, writing lyrics and record songs as a vocalist in collaboration with the artist/composer known as Area Grey, with the generous support from one half of the Grammy award winning electronic duo, Basement Jaxx.
A hunger for a challenge
There are few disciplines which grant the level of freedom for exploration, self direction and afford the time to observe, contemplate the world around us and form a dialogue like that of an artist.
I yearn for opportunities to explore the connections between the various fields I’ve studied and worked in. This affords me the chance to challenge myself, push boundaries and break down misconceptions. For example - when telling my old tutor from my interior & Architectural design degree that I intended to study Physics, they criticised this as a wise choice for a creative individual. I would argue the level of creativity required to derive General Relativity is equal to any artistic movement that has shaped so much about society. Seeing space & time as dimensions which are intertwined and related in a way no one had ever conceived before giving rise to a new perspective, solving the shortcomings of Newtonian Physics is incredibly creative.
My aim as an artist is to make people question their own assumptions about what creativity is.
Maths & Physics are both a source of inspiration and a means to communicate ideas.
Instead relying on traditional mediums, computer code becomes a means to realise, visualise & simulate my art.
Synaesthesis started off as a test to see if I could create a piece of software to visualise objects in 3D in perspective and became the basis for tying together my passions whilst providing me with an incredibly ambitious challenge - work it all out from scratch.
This frees me from the dictates of another software framework and means whatever I can imagine can be realised. The only restraints are my skills and vision
