I am a Lecturer in Creative Computing as well as an art practitioner and researcher. My practices and research interests lie in sound/digital art, creative experiment using interactive game technology, playful engagement, and embodied digital expression in the metaverse. I am not an expert in the subject of accessibility and inclusivity, but these are the values I keep trying to increase by exploring alternative ways of communication in digital space.
My postdoctoral research was with InGAME (Abertay-led AHRC funded project). I participated in several industry projects including the Whale Song Park project with Konglomerate Games, and the text-to-speech tool for dyslexic players Dislectek with Lowtek Games. Also, I developed some VR games to experiment with hand gestures and embodied musicality through anonymous and non-verbal play.
