Aspiration Statement

I aim to publish a collection of short stories in the near future in order to fulfil my life-long dream of becoming a published author. In terms of education, I aspire to do a Master’s in Nature-Culture Sustainability Studies from the Rhode Island School of Design, but this is a dream to fulfill after I have built a career I can be proud of.

Final Year Project

Project Title

Doom & Bloom: Transmissions from our Futures

Description

Our current forms of knowledge are either overly hopeful or hopeless, masculinist, anthropocentric, and predominantly western. Doom & Bloom deconstruct these notions and how they manifest in the Anthropocene by imagining a future that is the opposite of all of the aforementioned, using speculative fiction and design as vehicles for doing so. The result is a collection of flash fiction pieces in book form, along with a small number of speculative artefacts.
