Field was a studio app and platform for composing high-level creative intents. Its visual design asked for an ensemble of elements: each with a materiality of its own, a relation to its neighbors, and a role as container.
Completed as thesis by practice for the Royal College of Art's Master's degree in Information Experience Design. The material study is a record of the turning winds in visual culture in 2024: with changing technologies, a regard and a marvel for little objects.
