With a background in Illustration and Visual Communication,
I am passionate about process, thinking and discovery through
the act of making. My research practice usses sensory affect
to explore encounters within learning spaces, questioning
the impact this has on learning experiences.

I am a co-director of F.A.T Studio, an artist-led Community
Interest Company based on Old Kent Road in south east London.
F.A.T Studio is currently running OKR Arts Club which is all about
bringing people together, creating space for learning and sharing
and collectively exploring ideas for living and working as a community.
