I am a designer, artist and creative facilitator.

My practice explores visual storytelling and people’s connections to places. Alongside creating my own work, I collaborate with organisations, schools and institutions to explore stories visually and make creativity more accessible through workshops and participatory projects.

Taking the ecological crisis seriously is embedded in how I work. I think about materials, reuse and sustainable ways of making from the beginning of a project, rather than treating sustainability as an addition.

I also trained in Communication Design and Brand Identity, with experience in visual communication, storytelling and project development.
