Mariana's Song
Mariana's Song is a one-to-one multi-sensory experience for older people living in care homes with advanced dementia. Facilitated by theatre, material design, and magical interaction to support Creative Ageing practice.
I’m a Product Designer and Researcher with a background in installation Art and Co-creative Design. I use visual and embedded qualitative research methods to work with partners in the community. I spent my PhD working alongside People with Dementia, and I am interested in building communities around creative practice.
