About
I am a Context Lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art, where I teach critical and historical thinking about design and the applied arts to practitioners. I recently completed a PhD on craft and design in post-war Italy at the Royal College of Art/V&A Museum in London. I have worked at MoMA and the V&A, most recently on the exhibition Postmodernism: Style & Subversion 1970 – 1990. It took a while to get this blog up – read previous posts here from my former life as an editor at Fiell Publishing on their blog. In addition to writing for academic journals, I also work as a freelance writer for publications including Crafts and Domus magazine. My research interests include contemporary craft and design practice, post-war Italian design and gendered approaches to design history.
