Research & Academia

Angie’s research spans over two decades working in print and digital media, documentary film and virtual reality production, and more recently, the academic field of creative practice research and its intersection with citizen science. She is currently completing a Masters Degree remotely with SAE University Australia. Angie’s Capstone project ‘Entangled Practice’ is an investigation in to how regenerative creative practice can be explored and illustrated through lived experience.

As co-founder and president of the Floating Stories Lab Association, Angie is hand-building a 41ft Polynesian-inspired wooden catamaran to serve as a research and storytelling vessel. She leads the association’s EU-backed citizen science initiative Regenerative Tides: Sailing for Solutions, engaging coastal communities in data mapping, creative practice and advocacy to address the issue of end-of-life boat pollution on marine ecosystems.
