↗ Social designer, food enthusiast, bitter reclaimer and researcher working at the intersection of food, ecology, and social practices. My work explores how sensory experiences (especially taste) can reconnect us to what has been bred out, forgotten, or overlooked. Through foraging, craft and collaboration I create tools, tastings and narratives to invite new ways of relating to food, the natural world and lost knowledge.

Fireweaver’s Garment

Dec 2023

This garment is designed for sitting around a campfire. Painted with heat-sensitive pigments, its bright hidden patterns get revealed in the fire’s warmth. Made for a simple ritual of gathering, waiting, and watching as the garment transforms in the glow.
