I combine engineering principles with creative thinking to design, build and communicate ideas; from bio-inspired generative design frameworks and sustainable engineering concepts to electronic music production and digital media.
Currently exploring the intersection between technology, creativity and human experience.
During my MEng Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Exeter, I developed a novel computational framework that translates the adaptive growth behaviour of Monstera deliciosa into an engineering design tool. The project combines biomimicry, generative design and computational modelling to optimise natural daylight within buildings through strategically placed architectural fenestrations.
Using Python, I created an interactive design system based on Lindenmayer (L-System) algorithms, phototropic growth simulation and threshold-based material removal. The resulting framework allows designers to generate biologically inspired recommendations for energy-efficient building layouts, providing a practical bridge between computational biology and architectural design.
Please find some of my academic work belowAlongside engineering, music production has been a creative outlet for over six years. I’ve worked with established artists, contributed to releases, and produced music spanning commercial dance and underground electronic genres. My work combines technical precision with creative experimentation, from songwriting and arrangement through to mixing and mastering.
Whether producing original records, collaborating with vocalists or developing records for release, I’m constantly refining both the artistic and technical aspects of production.

I’ve produced promotional graphics, release artwork, social media assets and digital campaigns for artists and electronic music labels including Bass House Music and Futurized Records. My approach combines clean design, platform optimisation and an understanding of how electronic music is marketed online.
Every asset is designed with engagement in mind, whether it’s a release announcement, promotional campaign or branded content.
I’ve worked directly with artists and labels to build online communities from the ground up. As Community Intern at MER Recordings, I helped grow Alan Walker’s community platforms from launch to over 100,000 members, organising regular events, managing communications and coordinating moderation teams across multiple platforms.
Beyond community management, I’ve continued supporting artists through audience growth strategies, social media management and A&R, helping bridge the gap between creators and their audiences.
Whether I’m developing computational design algorithms, producing music, creating digital campaigns or building online communities, the underlying principle is the same: solving problems creatively.
I’m fascinated by systems; how they evolve, how people interact with them, and how thoughtful design can improve the experience. Engineering provides the analytical foundation, while music and digital media provide the creative perspective. Together, they shape the way I approach every project.
