Ali Wagner (she/her) is a cultural and creative designer/producer based in London, working at the dynamic intersection of music, culture, and innovation. She graduated in 2024 with a BA in Product and Industrial Design from Central Saint Martins. With a background in social design and festival production, Ali has spearheaded projects across the UK and Europe that champion social and environmental sustainability. Her work strives to spotlight underrepresented voices and ideas often overlooked in capitalist-driven culture.
Ali is passionate about community building, content creation, graphic design, and creative direction. In her spare time, she co-founded the FLINTA collective Local Strangers, where she hosts radio shows and DJs alongside her best friend @solarkbd. Through this collective, they amplify the work of womxn in the nightlife and music industry and advocate for greater femme representation behind the scenes in nightlife.
Another key project of Ali’s is the design and build of the Uhaul Dyke Rescue ‘Mobile Dyke Bar.’ In collaboration with Lucy Nurnberg, they created this mobile dyke bar to travel around London and the UK during the summer of 2024, fostering queer spaces and celebrating community.
Ali is currently completing her project ‘Dancefloor Intimacy’ supported through a Mead Fellowship grant, awarded by the University of the Arts London.
