About Me...

Hello!

I am a designer, lecturer and researcher, exploring ways to communicate, not only to inform but to generate public engagement as well. In the last few years, I have been expanding my work on gamified mobile applications and science, and developing design tools to evaluate their impact on people's motivation and engagement with the ocean.

My present work aims to bridge marine science and design through technology. I investigate more effective communication tools which can convey anthropogenic climate change impacts on marine systems in a way that matters to the people and consequently fosters pro-environmental behaviours.
