Miranda is a multidisciplinary designer exploring the intersections of technology and creativity. Much of her work blurs the line between digital and analogue, mirroring her own wide design experience from digital interfaces to print production.

She has a particular interest in translating the psychology of human interaction to real-world applications within cultural institutions. Within her graphic design work, she aims to create tactile experiences and frequently uses texture as a core design element.

Her interest in both letterpress and calligraphy often influences her work as she aims for faithful digital reconstructions of these traditional mediums.
