I am multi-award winning educator with a focus on participatory design and inclusion in innovation and entrepreneurship. I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Design Innovation at the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Bristol.

I have 20 years of experience working as an educator and creative producer in academic, commercial and arts contexts.  My work is focused on developing equitable spaces for learning and play through collaboration and the use of creative technologies.
