Felix is a UI/UX Designer with a background in History and History of Art.This background helped develop a passion for psychology and philosophy and importantly a curiosity about human behaviour. This curiosity helps drive a willingness to learn, as well as promoting a sensitivity to the different registers of human experience that can be designed for. Felix possesses a strong interest in shaping the conceptual framework and research behind designs. As well as finding the best ways to translate these elements into a practical design outcome. He is enthusiastic about the possibilities of design, not merely to improve our efficiency within a fast paced world, but to engender well-being and facilitate awareness and understanding. For Felix design should be a discipline that meets people on compassionate terms.

How to See, A Field Guide to Psychogeography

A Field Guide centred around the practice of Psychogeography - focused on the ways we see and interact with our local built environments. This project was inspired by an interest in the psychological effects of our environments on us. The Field Guide examines and builds on the Dérive — A drift through the city without destination — as a means of peeling away the different layers to our environments. The Field Guide introduces the categories of ‘social systems,’ ‘technical systems,’ ‘cultural artefacts’ and ‘aesthetics’ as means developing our awareness of our environments. The Field Guide curates responses to these categories through recordings made by participants on this Dérive. These recordings serve as the beginnings of a collective research tool.
