About Me

I'm a creative facilitator and applied artist with a background in digital art and a focus on cross-disciplinary collaboration. I bring a combination of hands-on creative skills, empathy, and values-led thinking to my work—whether that's artistic commissions, delivering workshops, supporting individuals, or developing community-focused projects.

My practice spans digital illustration, textiles, and site-specific applied art, and I'm particularly interested in how creativity can support wellbeing, self-expression, and empowerment. I have experience working across diverse contexts and am committed to creating inclusive, supportive environments where ideas and confidence can grow.

I believe creativity is a vital meta-skill—one that enhances learning across all subject areas and offers the potential to fundamentally transform how we approach education. I’m especially interested in how creative practice can act as a vehicle for deeper, more meaningful learning and help shape more adaptive, empathetic, and resilient communities.

With a strong foundation in both analogue and digital processes, I aim to build meaningful connections between artists, educators, and communities through collaborative and imaginative work.
