Hi, I’m Laura
I am the Course Leader for the MA Communicating Complexity at Central Saint Martins (UAL). My research and teaching is focussed on visual epistemology and innovation in graphical knowledge production.
I’m interested in asking questions. Particularly about visualisation, data and design education. This page is a collection of questions explored, developed and still in progress with myself and others.
