About Me

I am a UK based curator, publisher, and multidisciplinary creator with 20 years of experience. My work bridges heritage, bio-material innovation, and artistic craftsmanship with a strong focus on sustainability. I lead creative initiatives that merge research, culture, and responsible material use.

 

Curator

My curatorial work extends beyond traditional exhibitions, embracing experimental publishing, book arts, and material-driven storytelling. I work closely with private museums, institutions, and collectors to create unique experiences that blend history, craftsmanship, and future-forward thinking. By collaborating with artists and researchers, I create immersive experiences that challenge conventional perceptions of sustainability in the arts.

 

Publisher

Through workshops, public speaking, and focus groups, I engage audiences in deep discussions on art, culture, and material innovation. My passion for experimental publishing extends into artists’ books and hybrid formats that push the boundaries of storytelling and design.

 

Creator

As a multidisciplinary creator, I merge fine art, sculpture, printing, and bookbinding with sustainable materials. My work in bio-textiles and artisan plant paper transforms traditional crafts into innovative artistic and commercial applications. I founded Sophistica.Lab, a laboratory, boutique and highly responsible brand dedicated to researching and transforming biodegradable materials into fabrics, clothing, fittings, and home accessories.

 

Sustainability & Bio-Materials Innovator

Sustainability is at the core of everything I do. I am deeply invested in the potential of bio-materials, from artisan plant paper to bio-textiles, exploring their applications in both fine art and functional design.

 

Through Sophistica.Lab, I lead independent projects that push the boundaries of material science and eco-conscious craftsmanship. By collaborating with scientists, designers, and cultural institutions, I develop new approaches to sustainable materials that honor tradition while embracing the future. My recent focus has been on developing bio-textiles from algae-based compounds, creating materials that are both biodegradable and durable enough for clothing and design applications.

 

Vision

I am driven by a commitment to sustainability, cultural preservation, and the transformative power of materials. At the intersection of art, publishing, and bio-innovation, I continuously seek new ways to merge tradition with the future, creating work that is both meaningful and visionary.
