Bio

I am an artist, designer, with a broad range of skills and experience across key areas of art and design. My background is that of both practicing designer and creative educator.

I graduated with a first-class honours degree in ceramic design from Middlesex Polytechnic then went on to complete a Masters in ceramics and glass from the Royal College of Art.

For 17 years I was a senior lecturer on the BSc (Hons) product design degrees at the University of Sussex. For 7 years of that time, I was the course leader.

I both created and taught courses in design philosophy, toy and game design, visual communications, drawing for design, where the workshops focused on design thinking, and the creative process.

My research centered on visualization and mindfulness and investigated the inward journey of awareness as inspiration for innovation and this subject area is still an important part of my work today.

After leaving the University in 2020 I set up my Studio in West Sussex where I now work as a ceramic/mixed media artist.
