BIOGRAPHY
Carolyn is a designer and researcher with a
background in architecture. Her work explores the growing entanglements of
humans, ecologies, and machines — using
design as an investigative tool to materialise fragments from alternate or
expanded worlds. Carolyn currently holds teaching positions as Lecturer in
Design at Goldsmiths, University of London, and as Adjunct Professor at Parsons
School of Design in New York.
She was the recipient of a Postdoctoral Sawyer Seminar Fellowship at The New
School, supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2018-19);
was a fellow of the Designed Realities Studio, an interdisciplinary
research and teaching platform led by Dunne & Raby (2018-20); and has held residencies at ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (2022) and A/D/O in Brooklyn (2019-20).
Carolyn’s work has been published and exhibited internationally. She completed
her Master of Architecture at the Royal College of Art in London.
