My work sits at the intersection of the artistic and urban development, grounded in community-led approaches to shaping spaces and places. Through deep academic or artistic research and long-term engagement, I develop grassroots cultural production that reimagines how spaces and places are used, shared, and experienced.

As an academic, artistic researcher, and spatial visionary, I explore how creative practice can catalyse inclusive urban change—working with communities to co-produce knowledge, build local agency, and generate new cultural narratives. My practice is rooted in lived experience and aims to bridge critical inquiry with tangible, place-based transformation.
