Biography

I am a designer and inventor operating at the cutting edge of the wearable digital scent sector. I have spent many years working across academia, the creative industries and medical technology, where I gained insight in new adaptative scent technologies. Trained in fashion communication at Central Saint Martins and textile design at the Royal College of Art (PhD), I have a truly transdisciplinary approach informed by neuroscience, sustainable design thinking and extensive lived experiences.

Fascinated by the potential of emerging technologies and bio-synchronised fragrances to create transformative wellness experiences, I have focused my attention on mental health and closed-loop business models for scent delivery. I am developing eScent, a new movement in wearable personalised adaptive fragrances, which I have pioneered for the wellbeing, fashiontech, beautytech and psychedelic medicine industries.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts, a visiting researcher in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, an Associate of the British Society of Perfumers and a member of Cambridge Neuroscience and of the Royal Society of Biology. I was previously an academic at Central Saint Martins (Sensory Fashion) and the University of Cambridge (Healthcare Biotechnology) and have won awards from the AHRC, InnovateUK and Stelios Foundation.
