Biography
Cecilia Mezzi is a London-based educator, researcher and creative practitioner working at the intersection of storytelling, digital culture and emerging technologies.
Her work explores how narrative evolves within contemporary media environments, with a particular focus on data humanism, speculative design, future foresight, digital identity and creative technologies. Through lectures, seminars and workshops, she examines how storytelling adapts to technological change and how narrative systems shape cultural and social experience.
Cecilia holds a BA in Modern Literature and Humanities and graduated with distinction from the MA Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries at Central Saint Martins. Her MA research investigated social media data and creative archiving, exploring how digital traces can be translated into new narrative forms.
She is Senior Lecturer in Digital Media on the BA (Hons) User Experience and User Interface Design course at Ravensbourne University London, and also teaches across programmes at UAL, including Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion.
Her pedagogic practice centres on designing bespoke project briefs that encourage students to engage critically with technology, culture and emerging forms of creative production. She trained in creative coding at the UAL Creative Computing Institute and is the founder of Digital Memoir, an ongoing project that translates social media data into sound and visual compositions through AI-driven processes.
Alongside her academic work, Cecilia works as a journalist and creative practitioner exploring the relationship between technology, narrative and cultural production. Her research often investigates how emotional data, digital communication and narrative systems shape contemporary forms of cultural memory and creative expression.
