A bit about me

I'm a socially engaged practitioner with over 20 years of experience in creative direction, facilitation, illustration, and visual storytelling. While I work across sectors, my passion lies in driving change in social, environmental, and nature protection causes through visual and creative communication.

I deliver projects through an associate-based studio model, drawing upon the brilliant, diverse, and reliable creative network I have established over my career when I need a wider team.

I hold academic and vocational qualifications in Art & Design, Teaching, Person-Centered Counseling, Mental Health First Aid, Transactional Analysis, and Safeguarding.

In addition to fulfilling client briefs, I maintain my own visual art practice, exploring relationships with ourselves and nature through drawing, printmaking, painting, and the use of natural or found materials.
