I am an interaction designer and researcher predominantly working in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I teach Interaction Design at Northumbria. My research addresses the significant design challenges that we face for managing identity in our everyday interactions with digital technologies and personal data. I have explored the digital representation of selfhood in the context of family relationships and legacies, major life transitions, memorialization, cultural heritage, human rights media, and personal identity management. I am particularly interested in the health implications of managing a digitally-mediated self. I am Principal Investigator for the EPSRC-funded project \u2018INTUIT: Interaction Design for Trusted Sharing of Personal Health Data to Live Well with HIV\u2019 (EP\/R033900\/1), a design-led programme that aims to understand and address issues of trust, identity and privacy that are experienced by people living with HIV when sharing self-generated data with clinicians, peers, and others, for the purposes of self-managing their condition. I\u2019m also Co-I on EPSRC Playing Out with IOT (EP\/P025544\/2), exploring an outdoor design space for children\u2019s creative free play with Internet of Things. My work is grounded in cocreative, experience-centered, and research-through-design approaches, working closely with non-academic partners to define and conduct research.<\/span><\/p>
