I consult on research and development across varied project stages.
What I Do
I work with organisations, labs, and teams to develop innovative systems and embodied interaction tools. My practice combines deep experience in sensor-based digital musical instruments, spatial audio design, and research-led prototyping. I specialise in:
Movement-Sound Interfaces: Designing and implementing systems that translate physical gesture into responsive sonic environments.
Creative R&D Consulting: Prototyping new tools and experiences at the intersection of sound, interaction design, and movement, with physical modelling applications experience (Finite element analysis); modelling and validation
Installation & Experience Design: Custom audio environments and multi-sensory systems for galleries and public spaces.
- Research Translation: Bridging artistic research with technical development in academic or commercial contexts.
Background
10+ years of experience designing and performing on original electronic instruments
PhD in sound and movement-based interaction design
Former university program convenor (Composition and Music Technology at Monash University); ARC grant contributor and artist-in-residence (Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, Stanford University)
- Deep familiarity with creative R&D processes, sensor systems, physical modelling (finite element analysis), and trans-disciplinary research
