After studying and achieving an Honours degree in Theatre Design at Nottingham School of Art and Design, I was asked to start Enfield's first combined arts organisation. As director of 'Artswork' I continued to undertake commissions as both a designer and director. These have included site-specific events, dance, opera, festivals and carnivals. I continued my personal development and gained an MA in Art and Design. My work as a lecturer included master classes in design and realisation and the role of the artist / designer in society. I am currently working freelance as a designer and creative consultant.
