I’m Freddie, a designer and researcher working at the intersection of digital product, anthropology, and critical design futures.
I design digital products, systems, and brands with mission-driven organisations, while exploring speculative and critical approaches to imagine alternative futures.

I am more than a sum of pixels.
I love facilitating conversations, understanding different points of view, and taming chaos.
