Vibrational Dialogues
This project explores meaning-making through vibration, through a series of experiments investigating haptic interactions with digital devices. Setting out to discover a design language for vibration, it starts with the communication of simple expressions that can become embedded with meaning over time. Each step in my experiment builds on user testing to uncover behaviours, interactions and meanings. Presented here is the latest experiment – two devices able to communicate simple vibrational messages.

I am a designer interested in experience across all media. I am critical and curious about technology; making work that explores entwined digital and physical materials. My practice puts design in other people’s hands, creating experiences and interactions, and then refining through workshops, participatory design and user testing. My design is aimed at creating rich interactions that enchant as much as they empower. I work in the studio and beyond, delivering rich experiences through digital products, playful workshops and critical objects.
