Her practice-led PhD research examines analogue and digital approaches to typography, focusing on the materiality of language in hybrid spaces. Her creative work spans experimental digital typography and screen-printing, with exhibitions at Liminal Belfast, Imagine! Belfast Festival, and collaborations in Hong Kong. Her research integrates historical influences (e.g., Eighteenth Century design) with modern digital expression.
Pauline’s publications and exhibitions emphasize typographic innovation, including the Communication Arts 2021 Typography Award for Process Book 16 and the Society of Typographic Arts (STA) 100 Award for Process Book 15. Her recent work contributes to debates on hybrid media at conferences like ATypI (2020) and forthcoming publications in the Pattern and Chaos anthology.
