How might we create play-based interventions that enable children to experience nature as a co-creator?
From now until the end of May 2025, I can be found in my natural habitat, sketching, prototyping, and testing ways to reimagine play in nature.
Curious? Drop me a line—I’d love to chat!
To reimagine nature— not as something to observed or explained, but to be lived, shaped, and negotiated through movement, perception, and multisensory play?
What does it mean for children to play with nature—not as observers, but as active participants?
Through interactive play artifacts, my ongoing degree project explores how children can engage with nature beyond observation—amplifying curiosity, sensory perception, and relational negotiation to foster deeper more-than-human encounters.
