Biography

I am a Venezuelan born educator, designer and multimedia artist based in the U.K. and Portugal. My work is multidisciplinary and I often engage in collaborations with scientists, technologists and other practitioners, to promote knowledge exchange, critical thinking and lifelong learning. I hold a 1st Class Honours Degree in Design from the University of Aveiro (Portugal), followed by an MA in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art (U.K., 2015).

My practice focuses on the necessity for critical engagement with contemporary and emerging issues related to technology, ecology and politics. To facilitate this I use design fiction, speculation and world-building as storytelling methodologies. Narratives are expressed through a variety of media including moving image and prop/object design. I use these mediums to create immersive experiences aiming at involving visitors actively and critically with the narrative and issue presented.

Exhibition highlights include: The Museum of Lost and Found Potential - Supported by the Wellcome Trust, London 2019; Authentic Fictions: Speculative Futures for 2.5D Printing - DLab Tokyo Gallery, Tokyo 2019; Plumial Space - London College of Fashion Arcade East, London 2018; Night school on Anarres: Imaginings of an Anarchist Utopia - Somerset House, London 2016; and Economics of Uncertainty, Future of Labor - Venice Biennale 2014.
