CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER

OTHERWHERE DISTRICT STUDIO

Grounded in body politics, embodied epistemology, cultural coding, and emergent thinking systems, my practice is informed by cultural, justice and socio-political structures directing modes of collective perception spanning historical memory, culture, technology and art.

Emerging from the urgency of a world increasingly shaped by transhumanist narratives, my practice engages with the creation of new systems and ways of thinking. At its core is a long-term ambition to rethink, reclaim, and reimagine embodied intelligence and agency beyond algorithmic living. Since completing my MA in Digital Direction at the Royal College of Art, this has taken form as a multisensory convergence of moving image, sound, technology, and space, questioning binary structures across ecosystems. My practice has evolved from fashion into film, technology, curation, and community building because my interest has never been in the medium itself—it has always been in the systems that shape how people think, connect, and experience the world.

I never saw fashion as a destination. It was the first language through which I explored human behaviour, identity, storytelling, and culture. It became the raw material for developing narrative systems, cinematic language, technological experiences, and new forms of collective engagement. What I create is not driven by aesthetics alone. While the work may appear as style on the surface, its real foundation is structural. Beneath every visual expression is a system of relationships, behaviours, rituals, and ideas designed to create meaning and connection.

Fashion was never my future projection; it was the input. The deeper practice has always been about translating lived experience into systems—using film, technology, curation, and community as interconnected tools for shaping culture. Fashion was the most visible and marketable fragment of a far more complex practice. Across every discipline, my work remains consistent: designing systems that foster deep human connection, both physical and digital, where stories are not only expressed but transformed into shared frameworks for learning, participation, and collective growth.

MY STORY

Since an early age, I’ve been preoccupied with what exists beyond legibility—forms of life that exceed borders, thoughts that feel almost impermissible, and sensations that resist articulation. These are not absences, but emergent systems: still forming, not yet named, yet already exerting a quiet, amplified influence on how the world around us is perceived. What draws me is this threshold—where the unthinkable begins to take shape, and where feeling precedes language. It is here that perception becomes unstable, and where new structures of understanding start to surface through technology.

My practice framework is rooted in early encounters with Buddhism and Psychoanalysis, both of which inform a sustained inquiry into consciousness, desire, and the source of the self. These shifts emerge through my use of technology, movement, and cinematic world-building—not as tools, but as actors for perception to be tested and reconfigured.

My work explores the space between creator and subject through a lens of clinical intimacy, using sensory inquiry to reveal the deeper connections between minds and systems. This approach extends into my film practice, where I bring the performer’s mind and body into dialogue through allegorical frameworks. Here, the relationship between nature and technology is not treated as oppositional, but as deeply entangled—opening up new possibilities for embodiment, perception, and coexistence.

In 2023, I transitioned from FashionTech and Business into Digital Direction and Film Production—an intentional evolution that expanded my creative scope. By challenging traditional industry norms with an unconventional approach, I leveraged my foundation in detail, visual storytelling, and strategic thinking to bridge both worlds seamlessly. This shift has allowed me to move beyond surface-level aesthetics, crafting narratives and experiences that explore speculative futures and new ways of co-existing within emerging technological systems.

Backed by a strong portfolio and diverse client work, my practice now sits at the intersection of design, film, and forward-thinking innovation.
