About
I am a graphic artist, DJ and senior lecturer on BA(Hons) Graphic Design at Kingston School of Art. Since 2004 I have also been employed as an Associate Lecturer at LCC (UAL) teaching across theory and practice. I devise staff-student collaborations in communities of practice to explore contemporary socio-political issues. In a research-led approach to teaching I subvert conventional design tools to operate as counter-cultural political devices in unconventional contexts. I have led the radical pedagogic Alternative Art School (AAS) since 2015 as a space for critical discourse and student autonomy through collective action. The Disco Dissent elective forms a transformative extension of the AAS in which creative dissent and enterprise meet as innovative modes of practice.
