Research

Trained in design research at the Royal College of Art, London, and RMIT University, Melbourne, I'm interested in design research for healthcare and developing ethically responsible practices in design. On this page, you will find links to on-going and completed research projects along with any associated publications.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the School of Design at RMIT University and a clinical research affiliate at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. My PhD explores the design of a novel approach to physical activity management for patients with chronic inactivity
