About
I lead the MSc in Project Management for Creative Practitioners at Kingston University's Kingston School of Art. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy teaching in areas of professional practice, project management and design management. I teach with a culturally sensitive, inclusive and critical lens. As a trained barrister, with creative practice experience, my independent consulting work enables exchange and dialogue with and beyond creative industry partners - for example, in IP and agile innovation strategy.
My current research focuses on 'critical legal thinking' in relation to cultural memory (using an auto-ethnographic frame of reference). I make in relation to experimental / speculative archive(s) focusing currently on presence /absence in cultural heritage matters and the particular in our diasporic ontologies.
I research and write about professional practice within creative industries. There is a focus in this on lean and agile frameworks and processes for thinking about value (particularly for and with visual artists and designers). I'm interested in challenges and opportunities posed by disruptive & innovative technologies on professional practice standards in design - especially as these relate to archive(s), disintermediation, empowerment, collaboration, public interest, provenance, representation, and regulatory (un)certainty.
In an earlier role I project managed the British Film Institute's flagship site screenonline.org.uk, a digital archive focusing on the history of British film and television.
