Adela is a designer specialising in systems, complexity and interactions.  Her work is process responsive  and challenges the applicability and adaptability of the following mediums: traditional and digital graphics and illustration, experimental video, audio-visual interactive code, projection mapping, data mapping, product (tangible and intangible) as well as site installation.

Her work explores systems through their imbalances and mismatches in the context of inclusivity and long-term relatability, towards methodological innovation in Design for Sustainable Development.  She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, contributing to implementations of Social Design and Systems Thinking into undergraduate and postgraduate curricula in higher education.

Alongside engaging in her visual practice, Adela is currently the Head of Warwick Design Studies, where she serves as Associate Professor in Design & Global Sustainable Development  at the University of Warwick.
