BioTokenist is a critical design-led assembly aimed at surfacing and demystifying Environment Trading Markets (ETMs) for non-expert audiences, inviting them to reconsider environmental stewardship. It challenges capitalist frameworks shaping our interactions with nature, aiming to provoke thought and awareness by encouraging a critical examination of capitalism's role in addressing the climate crisis.
The Nook reimagines an underused car park in Carlton into a regenerative third space that supports both people and urban wildlife. Using a systems-led, place-based, and material-driven approach, the project shifts mono-functional infrastructure toward biodiverse, community-oriented environments. Guided by more-than-human principles, it proposes a replicable adaptive regeneration framework for urban renewal, demonstrating how design can transform neglected sites into resilient ecosystems where human and non-human life coexist and thrive.
Reweave is a research-led housing and sanitation concept addressing the rapid growth of informal settlements in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. It examines how displacement, linguistic fragmentation, and political constraints shape urban living conditions. The proposal reframes informal settlements as community assets, introducing a participatory, circular model for sustainable housing and sanitation that prioritises health, safety, and long-term social impact.
time + (non)human regenerative pavilion designed during a Melbourne Fringe residency at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. Informed by biophilic design, ecology, and mycology, the project proposes a quiet, half-covered structure beneath a tree, built from locally sourced materials. The pavilion prioritises coexistence over human-centred use, creating a shared space for people, plants, and animals to pause and inhabit together.
