Section 01 / Manifesto
A practice, not a portfolio.
This is a multidisciplinary practice rooted in research, sound, design, technology, documentation, and teaching. It is shaped by the conviction that the most interesting questions live between disciplines, between people, and between scales of time.
The work does not begin with a brief; it begins with attention — to a place, a community, a system, a sound. From there, it grows methods: ethnography, prototyping, recording, writing, mapping, building. Methods are chosen because the question demands them, not because they are familiar.
Outputs are diverse: a sensor network in a forest, a film about washermen, an ambisonic microphone, a syllabus, a piece of music, an essay. They share a stance, not a form.
Section 02 / Principles
Research as empowerment
Inquiry should restore agency to the communities it studies, not extract from them.
Co-creation over consultation
Knowledge made with people, not collected from them. Tools shaped in the field, not in the lab.
Systems thinking
No problem stands alone. Iceberg models, stakeholder maps, and feedback loops as everyday tools.
Frugal innovation
Working within constraints — material, ecological, political — yields more honest technology.
Sound as method
Listening is research. Field recording is documentation. Spatial audio is memory.
Design as inquiry
Designing is a way of asking questions. Every artefact is a hypothesis.
Long-term commitment
Practices, not projects. Investigations that may last decades.
Ethnographic care
Time in place. Sustained attention. The willingness to be slow.
Section 03 / How I Work
How I work.
The methods, tools, and approaches that shape my investigations, teaching, documentation, and creative practice. Select a method to see where it surfaces across the work.
Ethnographic Research
Sustained attention to people in place.
Time spent with communities, slowly, without an extractive frame. Conversations recorded only when invited. Field notes that travel back into design, writing, and film.
