About me
MA graduate from University College London. With a background in research, community engagement and visual art, I am passionate about harnessing data to tell stories and supporting organisations to influence positive and lasting change. I love having conversations and connecting with people, whether in person or online. I strive to make complex ideas accessible and easy to understand.
I care deeply about environmental and sustainability issues and am inspired by permaculture principles and design. I enjoy cooking, particularly baking - I recently discovered the joy of dough! Finally, I love movement, so when I'm not working, you will most likely find me training at my local climbing gym.

Cross-discipline approach to fine art with a focus on theory, research-based approaches and visual communication.
