Short Bio
I have a career spanning across queer games research, public interactive installations, and scientific data visualisation. I'm currently doing research at Monash Art, Design and Architecture, and I run a creative videography studio, Jump to Glide ↗.
In 2023, I hold a Junior Visiting Chair in Sexuality Studies at the Hunt-Simes Institute within the University of Sydney. During my visit, I am producing Pride at Play with a team of researchers, designers, and curators who play and make queer games, and furthering research in that area.
I'm one of the recipients of the inaugural CSIRO Medal for Diversity and Inclusion for my contribution in raising awareness for LGBTQIA+ issues in the organisation. I'm also a finalist in the 2020 Victorian Premier Design Awards for my data visualisation work. In 2022, I received a MADA Education Award for sustained excellence in quality education.
My most recent work is focused on queer independent games, and how videogames as art can become means of individual expression. The work includes "Public Art Park" (2022), "Infinite Colours" (2022), "Message for Queer Game Makers" (2021). My work has been exhibited at Melbourne Design Week (Victorian Pride Centre), and Testing Grounds (Queen Victoria Market). I co-authored with Cody Mejeur for Public Books in a piece titled "Queer Lives Are Not Side Quests", and organised a queer games panel at Games Connect Asia Pacific 2022.
