Hi, I'm Allie.

Hi, I'm Allie.

I am a London-based Artist, Creative Technologist, and Physical Interaction Designer grounded in the belief that technology is a medium for rich storytelling and the enhancement of authentic craft. Exploring the intersection of narrative and engineering, I build interactive hardware, design bespoke art and create tactile experiences that invite curiosity and wonder.

Through my practice, I aim to craft solutions that are as mechanically robust as they are artistically compelling. My work spans commercial prototyping, functional art, and creative engineering, with collaborations including Formlabs, Arduino, and The National Archives, as well as time spent on the Interaction Architecture team at Apple.

Whether I am developing custom electronics for a brand, translating an evening's event into a desktop sculpture, or inspiring new makers through open-source hardware, my goal is to fuse complex technology with meaningful creative expression..

The Path & Ethos

The Catalyst
My route into interaction design and physical engineering was not via any kind of traditional path. My education was in Media Arts and Animation, and following that I spent years working across industrial design, video games, and commercial marketing. That unique mix taught me something crucial: technology is only as good as the story it tells and the experience it creates. I have always resisted being boxed into a single specialty, frustrated that traditional industry roles force a false divide between driving the artistic vision and executing the engineering.
The Craft
Reveling in the tangible means I like to get my hands dirty with the process. I design the custom circuits, write the embedded code, and obsess over the physical finish. This self-taught foundation has wired me to be fiercely adaptable. I happily tackle any creative technical roadblock, leveraging my wide-ranging skill set to engineer ambitious concepts into reality without getting bogged down by traditional constraints.
The Mission
I’ve spent my career pushing back against outdated ideas: that art and tech sit firmly in different camps, and that the power to create is only for a select few. Because of my own journey, I’m fiercely committed to making technology accessible at every level of my practice. In my commercial work, this means championing accessible design practices to solve complex problems for the many, not the few. Beyond the studio, I share my process online, design with Open Source principles where possible, and actively partner with organizations to bring STEAM education to marginalized communities. I deeply believe that the tools to build the future belong in everyone's hands, and creativity should never be gatekept.
