She is a PhD candidate at the University of Brighton researching the visual communication of ecological literacy.

Her work focuses on changing paradigms in design, ecological literacy, education and transition to a low carbon, equitable resilient future. She works with various grassroots activist movements. She co-founded Transition Town Brixton in early 2007, now the first urban Transition Town to have started work on a Local Energy Descent Plan (with 1500+ local supporters).
