At the start of my degree, I remember a Monash brochure promising me I could
“create a world that does not exist yet”. Years later, as I conclude this chapter of my
life, I am still chasing that pipe dream. At the loss of my first-year naiveté, I
understand how the worlds we choose to reside in impact our story and the
people we will become.

As a designer I wish to connect the human experience with the natural world.
My projects have ranged from creating a hybrid playground-butterfly enclosure
that allows children to empathise with a life different from theirs, to a project that
heals a dying river with the aid and support of the local community that equally
needs it back.

Use of Clean River

Residents washing, farming, collecting clean drinking water, and playing in the water.

Business Model

MyAqua is a system that will employ and empower the local residents of the Citarum river.

Picking Mushrooms

A communal hub, where the local community can safely use the river and benefit from the technologies that they help
co-create.

Colour of Mushroom

Mycelium is genetically modified to photonically express the level of pollutants absorbed in one lifespan.
