The Architect

I take the systems we all live inside and never quite see — our data, the law, scripture, the numbers that quietly run a life — and I work them back into a shape a person can pick up and use.

In 2009 I landed at Heathrow with a single penny to my name, no job, no home and no real prospect of either and what turned the whole thing was almost nothing at all — one box I had ticked a long way from home, which incepted a chain of events I couldn't see, quietly pulling me back onto my feet. I have spent the years since looking for the very same boxes ordinary people never knew were theirs and the work hands back what was unseen.

01About me... and the work

Know Thyself is the thread that runs the length of it; and every facet of the work sets out the same way — a system you were never meant to be able to see, taken apart with some care and handed back as something you can finally look at without flinching.

The sysnopsis that led to here: In 2009 I landed in the UK, homeless and determined to changemy world; in 2012 my friends' daughter cut a rap album, at age 12; in 2015 I started a memoir, Down to Earth to document my colourful journey; in 2016 I had my 1st child and in 2017 I filmed within London’s grassroots music scene; under the banner of Worldwide Entertainment TV for their UK content. In a certain event the team produced, gathered more than 40 artists into the YouTube studios, Kings Cross, London. Putting a lot of young voices, and known faces, in front of a lens (and received a channel strike for breach of terms). Underneath all of it runs more than 20 years of reading the structure beneath an ordinary transaction — service desks, sales, the shop floor, operations and the escalated fraud cases that teach you, in the end, how a person is assembled out of paper. In 2026 the two finally met in public, in the digital space.

Carrying over two decades of experience behind me, no commission, no funded show and no partner with a brand or logo — made in the open, made on my own time and mostly in the small hours. I am optimistic these outputs will inspire now and in the future.

Presently the work is pointing towards data awareness through

D.I.G. · Data Is Gold

— where a young person can see, perhaps for the first time, what their own information is worth and learn to stand in front of it — alongside research into interactive storytelling for the younger audience.

02'The 5'

Five assets give a view of my work and each one takes a system you cannot see and turns it into something you can.

D.I.G. · Data Is Gold

An interactive that walks a young person through their own data trail — who holds it by home time, what a broker assembles from the scraps, what each identity document quietly unlocks — then hands them a working letter to claim it back. The invisible thing made into something a child can pick up and use.

WaterCYCLE

A live interactive that finds your natural form and teaches around it — the Thinkier reads your cognitive style, a blood-type and biomarker layer adds the biology, the Cocoon settles the breath before you begin. Self-knowledge you can see and put to work the same afternoon.

GrantAPP

An adversarial funding engine — it finds the open funders and points you in the right direction. These are the tools I needed built at a time when I most needed them; made available for whoever comes behind me.

Behind these five examples sit more than seventy working digital builds since the start of 2026 — some are built using AI-assistance, some AI centred, most were constructed in the early hours by climbing through pages of law, personal data and various styles of code. The creative work itself had begun way earlier through my creative writing and then out in public, with a camera, a team and no formal film qualifications.

03The early years... 2017 footage

Before the code, the camera. The same instinct runs through everything since — give the unseen a way to be seen.

A note on the footage. These are documentary records of live grime music, unedited and of their moment, carrying strong language and a raw setting. They stand here as the ground the current work grew from, not as current examples.
