A subversive design philosophy

Drag Design

At its core, Drag Design is the pursuit of ultra-condensed, instantly effective storytelling — binding materiality and meaning the way haute couture runways and drag shows do. A single look can tell an entire story, without a word spoken.

Rooted in my master's thesis at the Royal College of Art (Distinction) and developed through ongoing practice, Drag Design is an artistic approach — one that thrives on contradiction, theatricality, and tension to reveal new possibilities in design.

It is camp as a method: taking the overlooked, the excessive, and the taboo, and staging them as objects of desire.

The best ideas come from unexpected collisions.
