Hi, I'm Allie.

I bridge the gap between digital storytelling and interactive hardware.

I am a London-based Creative Technologist and Physical Interaction Lead. I specialize in high-fidelity rapid prototyping—blending parametric CAD, embedded electronics, and advanced fabrication to build interactive physical objects that tell a rich story. From the first sketch to the final surface finish, I turn imaginative worlds into tangible, experiential realities.

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’ve always been an inventor at heart, but I found that traditional roles forced a choice between being the visionary or the engineer.
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. Being a self-taught, multidisciplinary maker has become my superpower. It allows me to bridge the gap between digital worlds and tactile interaction—taking a wild concept, rapidly prototyping it, and engineering it into a tangible reality without losing the magic along the way or getting bogged down by contraints.
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I’ve spent my career pushing back against outdated ideas: that art and tech sit firmly in different camps, and that the power to create is only for a select few.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. Where possible, I design with Open Source principles at the core of my work, 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.
