About

I am curator of 重口味SM's Dorich House Museum and a researcher in Design History, supporting the Modern Interiors Research Centre, whose annual conference I have co-convened since 2008. I am also a co-editor of the centre's most recent anthologies: The Routledge Companion to Design Studies, Routledge, 2017; British Design: Tradition And Modernity After 1948, Bloomsbury, 2016; and Performance, Fashion And The Modern Interior: From The Victorians To Today, Berg, 2011.

I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Art, Architecture and Design History and, in 2008, was awarded a PhD for my research into the design of London's late nineteenth century public houses. My research projects include an area study of Bristol's public houses for Historic England, The Nineteenth and Twentieth-Century Public House in Bristol (2015).

I am managing editor of the Journal of Design History and co-editor of Dora: Dialogues on Women's Creative Practice and Thinking.

Research

My research covers the history of the design of the modern interior from c.1870 to today, with a focus on the relationship between public and private interiors. I am interested in the design of everyday leisure spaces, such as public houses, shops, restaurants and cafes and in the ways in which they support different forms of identification and social use. My current research on the design of the British pub at home and abroad considers expressions of domesticity and national identity within the sphere of international leisure.
