BIOGRAPHY

I am a multimedia artist with extensive teaching experience in Higher Education. I enjoy working with students on live briefs and exhibition projects and organising collaborations between staff and students. I work across disciplines and enjoy learning from others and sharing skills in workshop settings.
As a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, I promote and design innovative teaching and learning in Art and Design and encourage the rich diversity that our subject offers students. I enjoy working in partnership with students to constantly improve and refine teaching opportunities and to keep up to date with fast paced changes in industry and culture.
