I have recently graduated from Goldsmiths (BA Design).
I am passionate about exploring relationships and the ways we interact with technology that surrounds us. Read more about the way I work →

Too often people feel their lives are full of repetition. This project probes how robots and bots can be used to make us more spontaneous and playful by injecting more randomness into the everyday.
My process relied heavily on user testing from early stages and finding ways of rapidly prototyping technology in lo-fi ways.
A research tool used in a series of social experiments. The device suggests an action to be performed by the participant every time the button is pressed. The intention was to inject a little randomness into participants' lives, as a result their behaviour became playful and adventurous. Actions ranged from simple tasks such as "look around" to team activities like "play hide and seek".
A research experiment in which bored Twitter users based in London were given something to do by a friendly bot. Activities suggested ranged from going to the park, phoning a friend or attending music events. Many users liked the idea, however the suggestions weren't necessarily to their liking. An interesting feature was the level of politeness in people's responses to the bot.
