Hi, I’m Liv. I’m a visual communicator and researcher and I’m fascinated by how the internet is changing our perception, and how we see, search and feel
Recently I’ve been sharing research and insight with brands, agencies and studios to help shape their visual design, editorial and strategy work. Prior to that I connected the world through pattern as Head of Research at PATTERNITY, building their world recognised pattern archives and online community, and collaborating on projects for clients including Google, Imperial War Museums, COS, M&S and the Wellcome Trust.
I also teach on the University of Brighton Visual Communication course, where I encourage multidisciplinary approaches to image making and visual research in order to solve problems and tell stories.

My Ongoing Research
I want to reveal metadata: the hidden languages, histories and sentiments that are coded into our visual world – from our museum archives and our Instagram collections, to our learning environments and living room walls.
Through my process, I’ve been experimenting with existing everyday technologies to capture and archive my research, which connects high and low culture, the established and unexpected
I’m grounded by principles of collaboration, conversation and empathy and hope to design processes that can foster this way of working.
