Having self-funded my way through two of the world's top art and design universities whilst working as an agency worker (electrician), I'm presently researching the role of worker-led intelligence in improving work standards, conditions and productivity.
My startup, earwig, is a reviews platform for construction workers on temporary contracts. It shows relevant, detailed worker-led intelligence about recruiters and workplaces so workers feel secure when choosing jobs. Workers make the most informed decisions, find the best jobs and pay rates and engage with other workers in the earwig community. It’s the only platform of its kind in construction.
earwig won the 2017 Our Place in the World investment prize, a Do It award from UnLtd - the foundation for social entrepreneurship, is being supported by philanthropists Tom and Claire Shutes and is receiving incubator support from InnovationRCA, the Royal College of Art's centre for entrepreneurship and commercialisation.

I'm also a keen art and design enthusiast and I love reading and writing, too. I'm at home in the realm of ideas and possibilities and I'm always seeking to learn more.
Get in touch if you'd like to work with me on earwig or if you'd just like to go for a run in the park and real talk!

In addition, I have written pitch decks, business plans, and a Knowledge Ba
- Founded company: earwigOver 850,000 construction workers operate on temporary contracts through a multi-tier contracting structure where specialist and general recruitment agencies sit between them and the ultimate employer. These agencies hold contracts and outsource payment and their performance varies dramatically. Poor worksite conditions and bad management further exacerbate workers’ sense of insecurity. All of this creates personal crises for many workers who have limited power to effect change. earwig is a rev
- Trophy design for Sheffield Doc|FestIn 2017 I was chosen to design and produce 10x awards trophies for the annual Sheffield International Documentary Film Festival (Doc|Fest), a commission I now undertake each year.
