About

I am a designer and researcher working at the intersection of critical luxury and fashion, embodied practice, wellness and consumer culture. My research explores the current phenomenon of the commodification of wellness and its expansion into aspirational luxury. Through my research methodology I analyse new transformational luxury consumption and behaviour commodities that circulate fashion capital as a form of spiritual
and/or sustainable capital. My research is driven by concerns on the aesthetic and ethical repercussions for individuals when engaging in these new types of commodities. Through my research and creative practice I aim to support a more just and inclusive society.
