I am a communication designer. My work is always user focused and I strive to do work that contributes to social and environmental change for good.
I bring theory and practice closer together, offering a greater understanding of the issues I am designing for.
This allows for evidence based design and a better understanding through research.
I studied graphics at Norwich university of the Arts and after a few years in industry, returned to school to study at Northumbria University for an MA in Communication design with a special focus on issue-based design research.
Let’s work together.
Projects
- A revolution per minuteA “Neighbourhood watch” social campaign to tackle unacceptable behaviours at Northumbria University. Students are encouraged to print their own posters at home and in libraries, to use as stencils. These can be used with water based paint to graffiti school campus and spread the word. Grassroots, low budget, high impact.
- Social Prescribing Awareness CampaignSocial prescribing is a non clinical way for link workers to offer help and support to patients in a holistic way. It allows primary care providers to target the social and psychological needs of patients through non-drug interventions. The design project being undertaken for this MA will explore how sharing experiences of participants might increase social connections supporting patients to cultivate relationships with each other and increase their support network.

- GOSH Charity Manifesto FilmThis year I've had the pleasure of doing the voice over for our new film for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. It shares real moments captured at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (GOSH) and at home with young patients and their families, offering a glimpse into what childhood means for the seriously ill children we support. Childhood makes us who we are. It shouldn’t be spent in hospital. But when it has to be, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is here to h
- Great Ormond Street Hospital Navigation systemsGreat Ormond Street Hospital now has a new temporary entrance in preparation to build the new Children's Cancer Centre. As a result, we needed a new navigation system for patients, families and visitors to use to find their way around the hospital. I designed this new system that aimed to create a calm, considered and friendly way for young people to interact with the hospital navigation, to make their trip to hospital a little less daunting.
