As an artist, I have a rather eclectic background, with qualifications in both genetics and organisational psychology, as well as an MA in Design. Yet, each of these disciplines shares a common curiosity in how simple elements come together to form a complex whole and how emerging structures adapt to suit the context of their environment.
