About
My work has led me to cross creative disciplines - publishing, art-direction, design, video, photography, illustration, animation and education. Through working in this way, I have been fortunate to gather experience within a range of situations from art-direction for The Guardian, through to music video direction under the representation of Warp Films and activities in independent publishing.
Prior to this position at Kingston School of Art, I have been a visiting lecturer on the Illustration Animation course and at London Metropolitan University on the Visual Communication course.
The reading and misreading of images, and the potential uses of visual language as a tool for communication, are ongoing areas of investigation, both in my own work and my teaching.
