Indonesian Australian Design Futures
Mapping Edges
I develop and use interdisciplinary research methods, such as hybrid forms of mapping and experimental futuring to understand the complexity of situations and communicate possible futures.
This project brings Indonesian and Australian designers together for international exchange, ideas and skills sharing, workshops, a community hack-a-thon, and most importantly, imagining new design futures.
I work with Dr Ilaria Vanni in Mapping Edges, a transdisciplinary research studio with expertise in design and cultural research, ethnography, visual communication, design thinking and permaculture.
Frontyard Projects
Indonesian Resources and Information Program (IRIP)
I’m a Board member of Frontyard, a pro-active, flexible space for practical skills-sharing, community cultural engagement and critical research, with arts at its heart. Our aim is to challenge, facilitate and nurture collaborations between people with a passion for culture and to build a more resilient and sustainable independent arts community for the future.
I am on the board of the Indonesian Resources and Information Program (IRIP) which publishes Inside Indonesia, an online magazine that aims to raise awareness about the diversity of Indonesian society, and about the struggles of those Indonesians who aim to achieve greater democracy, human rights, gender and racial equality, tolerance and environmental sustainability.

MY RESEARCH // FOLLOW: 
University of Technology Sydney
My background is in visual communications and the ethnographic methods of International Studies. I develop and use interdisciplinary research methods, such as hybrid forms of mapping and experimental futuring to understand the complexity of situations and communicate possible futures. These methods can benefit a range of industries. I have mapped urban food production and knowledge share networks as they appear in Australian and Indonesian cities.
