ABOUT ME

I am a researcher and visualisation developer based between London and Hong Kong. I specialise in translating complex information into clear and engaging visual narratives. Originally trained as an experimentalist, I hold a PhD in Behavioural and Systems Neuroscience from University College London. My background in science and engineering shapes a practice grounded in technical fluency and analytical precision, while my design ethos is intuitive, playful and serious. Alongside this work, I occasionally write about the relationship between data and design.

I'm always seeking opportunities that broaden both my perspective and my practice.
