Fancy a coffee chat zoom with me?
Over the last year I have connected with so many interesting people; either by reaching out to those I’ve admired from afar with the hope of a warm reception or from people who’ve reached out to me in the same vein.
Who are my contacts in the architectural media / press game?
I’ve got a BIG project launching tmrw. Do people still send press releases?
I’m guest editing this issue of Charette

Call for Contributions:
SURPRISE! Queer Spatial Pedagogies
A call to reflect on emerging queer spatial pedagogies. How have queer methods, both from within spatial disciplines and from other disciplines, impacted the way we teach architecture and design?
Did you know there’s an open source directory that lists #speculative #design and #futures educators around the world, and their specialisms.
Connect, collaborate, research… add yourself to the list! (We also have a slack channel too).
Comment / DM for the link.
If I spoke with you this year and it was a good experience do pass this on to others - let’s pay it forward.
Huge thanks to all those who have taken the time to meet with me for chats, guidance, inspiration, unintentional therapy, laughter and more. Too many to name but I hope you know who you are 🙌❤️

Fancy a chat? In 2024 I plan to continue setting aside a few hours every first friday of the month for Exploratory Chats.
I started these earlier this year and have had some incredibly enjoyable, insightful and frankly illuminating conversations. Here’s to just some of you.
#HIRING. Join my team: superFUTURES is looking for a part/time associate lecturer (Royal College of Art).

That’s my A/W speaking gigs lined up now:
I’ll be introducing all things #speculativespatialdesign and superFUTURES.RCA to the MA Interior and Spatial Design students Politecnico di Milano alongside alumni Yue Sun, Yu Zhang and Alexandra Ellerkamp
And finally some talks and workshops on the new edition of my book *’Don’t Get a Job, Make a Job’* careers/strategies for Bea Martin and her excellent MSA Collective and team at Manchester School of Architecture (MSA).
That’s all for 2023👌 super grateful to everyone for the opportunity to share my work and that of my students.
