About
We're building a suite of digital tools: VR, WebXR, mobile mini-games and location-based experiences, that turn food literacy and gut health into playful, memorable adventures for kids and families
Impact
Ultra-processed food is fueling a global health crisis, and kids are the biggest target. We turn food literacy into play; so children and families learn to question what they eat, before it becomes a lifelong habit
Progress
Developed via Venice Biennale College, presented at NewImages, VIFF and Immersive Tech Week. Built creative team, museum and science partnerships, international co-production team, scientific advisory board & growing impact strategy
Team
A food educator for 10 years & creative director for 20 - audio & creative lead on experiential works for World Expo Dubai and COP28, multiple VR projects through Venice, Raindance and NewImages. Gut Instinct is where both worlds finally meet.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
