about me
I am a designer specialising in co design and community engagement, interested in the ways in which communities can work together to create healthy, resilient neighbourhoods. A graduate of the Master of Design programme at DJCAD, Dundee, I have recently started a PhD at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen looking at the potential for new manufacturing technologies to increase opportunities for creativity and enterprise in rural communites.

Hi Sarah
Can’t find your email address on here so going to post here instead.
I’m planning a similar trip to Cuba next year. Would you have a contact email to pick your brains? I’m particularly interested to hear what kind of visa you are travelling on and how you have secured this.
Thanks in advance
Liz
Hi Liz – I’ll send you an email…
Hi Sarah

Hi Ray, thanks for commenting… I’ve also been enjoying your blog posts – love the artwork – hope you’re producing some work on your trip. Have a great time at the monastery, sounds amazing!
Hey Sarah – I really liked reading your blog; I’m studying sustainable development, and traveling to Cuba this week (!!!), and I’d love to visit INIFAT. Could I ask you some questions?
Congratulations on inspiring work!
Thanks Isabel – I’ll send you an email – good luck with your trip!!
Hello Sarah,
Would it be possible to use one of your images of the garden in Cuba for a school project? I am a student at Harvard Graduate School of Design and this is for a visual essay on organoponicos. You will receive full credit and the work could be published at some future date but we are not sure when.
Have a great day and look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi Katie, of course! I’d be happy for you to use one of my photos. Good luck with the project – is it specifically about Cuba?
