Immersive Experience Design 
Odyssey Works, Third Rail Projects, Punchdrunk

Experience Design (XD), focuses on engineering live encounters that prioritise and the audience's experience of the event.In 2019, I was accepted into the Odyssey Works Masterclass Programme in New York, which is renowned globally for its pioneering approach to experience creation. Travelling to the US, and alongside a diverse group from around the world, I immersed myself in learning Odyssey Works' process and techniques, including experiential diagramming and empathic design, culminating in the creation and execution of a unique designed experience that unfolded over multiple days across two towns in Upstate New York.Following this, I have created other experiences which span the corporeal and the digital with particular interest in rekindling play, wonder and a rediscovering the magic hidden in ordinary environments.With a specialist interest in Immersive Theatre which I explored in my post-graduate research, I have also trained with the leading international immersive theatre companies, Odyssey Works (NY), Punchdrunk (UK), where I was selected as part of a global group of 10 to learn their process and techniques, and am currently working closely and training with Third Rail Projects (USA), another global leader in experiential performance and immersive theatre.  Experience Design and immersive theatrical principles inform much of my work, from a focus on audience experience, to crafting journeys using a knowledge of perception and spatial design, as well as carefully diagramming the flow of an experiential event.
