Hi, I’m Ash ~
I’m a researcher, artist, writer, UX designer, and social entreprenuer.
In my studio practice, I use drawings, moving images, and time-based performance to explore spiritual and metaphysical concepts.
As a researcher and experience designer, my work is focused on increasing equity of access for all people.
