Natural Connection explores how a cybernetic communication between humans and fungi can form a more collaborative and sustainable relationship between mankind and the natural world. Through an interactive exhibition, a bridge of multi-sensory communication is formed, aiming to shift our conscious understanding of reality to an interconnected, and symbiotic network of organisms.
Natural Connection User Testing
The visual identity is constructed of bright colours, enticing images of fungi and nature, paired with bold statements about fungi's fundamental role within our world ecosystem. Augmented reality posters can be viewed through the app Artivive. Follow the QR code on the first poster and hold your phone up to the posters to view animations and learn about fungi.

Education & Relevant Courses
2015
2018
Bachelor Arts of Honours, Winchester School of Art, Graphic Arts
The course allowed me to develop my design skills both practically and conceptually. In the second semester I took a semester abroad in Prague at UMPRUM, studying graphic design and new media. This setting allowed me to explore an entirely new way of working in three dimensions, as opposed to designing on a two dimensional screen. This developed my design practice into creating objects, environments and experiences.
