She works with diverse communities across the UK and internationally to develop participatory projects of different scales, ranging from interactive installations,

She designs interfaces, fabricates hardware and develops software for her work, ranging from wearable technology, interactive installations and performances to web platforms, mobile phone apps and Internet of Things (IoT) tools.
