Digital
As well as print publications, I have worked on various digital editorial and curatorial projects. These include websites, magazines, exhibitions and festivals.
Future Observatory Journal
April 2024–ongoing
Future Observatory journal is a biannual online publication that publishs new research, new forms of design practice and, crucially, new narratives from designers working towards a liveable future.
Part of the team co-founding and publishing the journal, I continue to work as its Commissioning Editor.

Open House Worldwide
November 2020
As the coordinator of Open House Worldwide (OHWW) during 2020, I led on the production and curation of the first OHWW festival, a non-stop 48 hour digital broadcast held in November 2020. This involved working with over 40 Open House (OH) organisations across the globe – from Seoul to Santiago, Lagos to London – to produce events, talks, tours and other programmes covering the most pressing issues in architecture and design.

The City Talks Back
Theatrum Mundi/Onassis Stegi
September 2020
The City Talks Back brought together architects, urbanists, activists, artists and anthropologists to explore the political voices of contemporary Athens. The projects and pieces presented aimed to question who is (and isn’t) heard in the city and how the audibility of voices changes across its varying public spaces.
As a curator of this project, alongside John Bingham-Hall and Fani Kostourou of Theatrum Mundi, for Onassiss Stegi, I worked closely with graphic design studio Typical Organization to conceive and commission the project website backtalks.city. In addition, I worked with the project contributors to shape their pieces into the design and format of the exhibition platform.
