Her solo exhibitions include shows at Firstdraft (Sydney) and Metro Arts (Brisbane), and she was a finalist for the Churchie Emerging Art Prize at the Institute of Modern Art.

„I use art to critically reflect on technology’s role in intimacy, care, and personal vulnerability—fostering awareness of how data shapes our lives, and reclaiming agency through playful, participatory encounters“.
