Robyn Cook Rocky Boon

I am an Associate Professor of Design Ecologies in the Department of Graphic Design at Falmouth University.

Since 2022, I have championed departmental research, research-integrated teaching, and doctoral projects within the department.

Prior to that, I was the Course Leader for the MA Communication Design at Falmouth, and the Course Leader for the BA (Hons) Graphic Design at the University of Johannesburg (South Africa).

My research is focused on the epistemics of power in relation to design as a hyperobject, and the forms of domination (language, identity, economics, technology, education […]) that mesh the systems and objects of society.

My teaching and practice are informed by my experience as an art director and graphic designer for various agencies including Ogilvy & OgilvyAction.

I also run The Office for Ulterior Research: part design research repository, part other-thing studio, part zero-plus-zero publisher.

For a complete résumé (committees, press, publications, exhibitions, grants, residencies),S to collaborate, or anything else, feel free to get in touch.
