I came to Kingston University in 2001 initially as Director of Undergraduate Programmes in Art, Design & Architecture. Subsequently I worked as Director of Academic Development for Studio-based Learning & Teaching, Acting Head of School of Design and as the course director for the MA Design with L&T in HE. I gained my Doctorate in Education in 2006 and was awarded my professorship in 2012.
I have been an external examiner on both undergraduate and postgraduate design courses in graphic design, illustration, multi-media, fashion design, A&D pedagogic practice here in the UK as well as in Singapore, China and Greece. I continue to supervise and examine PhDs, and course validations internationally. This practice continues to give me a global understanding and currency of design practice, theory and pedagogy. I am actively involved in research projects and PhD supervision at Kingston School of Art and in research at other institutions.
