My work can be grouped into 3 categories: Strategic Design, Product Design, and work with Technology. As these largely overlap the majority of my project fall into multiple of these categories and all feature a technological aspect.
​
Phenix Space is a Science and Technology program for refugee children who don’t have access to formal education.
​
The finale of the programme is a launch of a CubeSat satellite with an interactive art installation on board. The installation will allow people to write messages and then see them displayed in space, via a video feed. The project is designed to attract media attention and broaden the conversation around the issue, and motivate the pupils to shoot for the stars.
​
As the technology lead at Phoenix Space i am leading the development of the CubeSat as well as bringing together partners and collaborators to get it off the ground.
​
Once the CubeSat is designed and the pupils complete the STEM program, they will learn how to code specific aspects of the satellite payload, contributing to the on-board art installation.
As the satellite launch is scheduled to take place next year, we are designing and testing subsystems. The first being a camera module which will be going up on a high altitude balloon on the week of the 9th of March.
​
We are collaborating with Open Cosmos through their Call to Orbit program, designed to facilitate space missions for ambitious projects. They are a key partner in developing the CubeSat hardware.
The satellite payload will feature cameras for earth observation and an interactive art installation, which will be accessible through the Phoenix Space App
