Smart Citizen Kit
FabLab Barcelona / IaaC
A low–cost environmental sensing kit, which lets people measure their local environmental data, such as humidity, noise and air pollution.
A revamp for the SCK 1.5 is in development, including brand, data visualisation, software and hardware
Sensor
Democratising access to environmental data
The kit streams data over WiFi to SmartCitizen.me, an open platform where data from kits is shared, creating a crowdsourced map of environmental data from cities around the world.
Interfaces
Teaching the skills needed for smarter citizenship
Over the course of 2016-2018 I planned and led workshops, teaching data literacy, sensemaking and the design of interactive public interventions, to non-technical participants, citizens concerned with pressing environmental issues.

Inside Abbey Road
Stinkdigital
We partnered with Google to create an interactive experience that showcases Abbey Road’s incredible history, the legendary stories of the artists and engineers who continue to break new ground in sound recording today.
Explore the world’s most legendary recording studio. Discover the stories of the studio, the reocrding artists, songs and much more through an immersive free roam experience.
An intense year-long production
All hands on deck as I was responsible from pitch to art direction, design, content plan, flow, shoot, prototype, correct & grade.. creative direction.
The studio was depth scanned, point clouds were converted into 3D meshes. Photographic panoramas were then mapped to the mesh.
Interfaces
The site was created from more than 150 different 360-degree photospheres, and houses over three hours of geo-located and contextual content including in-line videos and images, interactive gadgets, and 360 degree videos.

Revolutions in Sound
RedBullMusicAcademy
Google+ & Red Bull Music Academy collaborated to develop an experience where people could reminisce about the glory days of clubbing and galvanise current & new clubbers to discover music and club nights.
Design strategy & Information Architecture
A living archive of UK club culture.
A Journey through APIs
The whole site was built by cross referencing multitple music APIs and surfacing the cleanest data, from YouTube, LastFM, Soundcloud, as well as Google’s Knowledge graph.
We pulled hundreds of thousands of muscial data entities, such as artists, venues, clubnights, tracks and photos and cross referenced them, so that any point you could see the venues, clubnights and tracks associated with your favorite artists.
Device agnostic, working seamlessly on desktop, mobile and everything in between.
A user-led experience
The concept of the site is for music fans to share their glory days. Post club photos, videos, tag their favourite tracks, retrospectively check in to legendary club nights. As such a whole system for content contribution and moderation was designed and built.

The relaunch of Warp.net adapts the label’s online presence for today’s globally connected audience. It was the first update to the site since 2009, and includes news and information about Warp artists, catalogue, releases, and events.
After pitching, I went through a deep UX dive and an initial round of design explorations.
Exploration of bespoke page layouts that adapt to meet the unique needs of each artist, and encourage exploration of Warp’s extensive catalogue.
In the end, a brutally simple experience…
