MA Philosophy & Literature (Warwick 1989) & PhD Philosophy (Warwick 1993). PhD Thesis titled 'Cartographies of Subjectification' examined the materiality of spaced subjectivity using concepts from Immanuel Kant, Gaston Bachelard, Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari. Most of my work in the 1990s centred on the philosophical consequences for subjectivity of practices of body modification. The elements of this discourse that take in concepts of the cyborg & design practice form the basis of the book that I'm writing called 'CyberDesire'. More recent work focuses on the relations between design theory & practice, especially the use of philosophical concepts to drive design practice. Writing in this area includes work on emergence & fashion design, relating Spinoza’s body to designing things and looking at philosophy of science & literature to produce models for relating design & culture. Also working on issues of design/creative-led innovation. Working as strategy, design & education consultant for the last ten years. Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts since 2000.
