Personal profile

Research and Innovation interests

I am a design researcher with a background in graphic design, colour design, and inclusive information design. My research investigates how visual communication and colour can improve access to information, especially for people with visual or cognitive differences. I use qualitative, practice-based, and co-design methodologies to develop inclusive visual systems in collaboration with users.

My PhD focused on inclusive colour and information design. Building on this, my current work explores colour communication in design practice, the role of designers in accessibility, and inclusive approaches to visual information.
