About the Developer

Biography

Koshe Salihy is a systemic design researcher and the creator of the Epistemic Narratives Matrix™ (ENM). She holds an MA in Sustainable Design from the University of Brighton, where she developed the ENM and its first full application — Me, You and History, a 112-page visual study re-narrating the cover of Wilfred Thesiger's A Vanished World. Her practice is grounded in systems thinking, cybernetics, super-complexity, and giga-mapping, bridging art, design, and research: mapping complexity, visualising interconnected systems, and translating abstract challenges into strategies that respond to ecological, social, and technological transitions. Her work was showcased as part of the Sustainable Design MA End of Year Show — UNMAKE // REMAKE — held in London in September 2025. The Epistemic Narratives Matrix is a direct expression of her research vision: developed to challenge linear historiography and reimagine how artefacts, cultural memory, and marginalised narratives can be engaged with through radical honesty, poetic transparency, and third space hybrid positionality.
