About
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with diverse clients, colleagues, and communities, which has shaped me into a dedicated, highly motivated, and experienced professional. I take pride in building meaningful relationships and collaborating on projects that make a lasting impact.
I have worked extensively within the non-profit, heritage, and culture sectors. My experience includes roles with the National Trust, London National Park City, Moseley Road Baths Coalition, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. As a creative communications and marketing professional, I have focused on community cohesion initiatives, using my expertise to drive impactful campaigns and foster positive community engagement.
With over 12 years of experience in teaching Art and Design, and Design and Technology, I specialise in Graphic Products and Product Design. I have worked in schools, academies, and foundations across the UK and internationally, where I have developed extensive subject knowledge and a strong foundation in teaching and learning.
I hold a degree in Multimedia Design and Visual Communications, which has made me a strong visual communicator. I am dedicated to producing high-quality, professional materials that effectively convey the messages and values of the organisations I work with
