I am a multidisciplinary design educator and cultural policy researcher with experience in design education and community work. My research thesis explores the experiences and aspirations of Black graphic designers in the Creative Arts Industry, which is a crucial step towards fostering a more inclusive and diverse industry. The outcomes of this research will significantly impact how the industry perceives and understands the unique challenges and strengths of Black creatives in Britain.
In addition to my research efforts, I have worked with diverse and exciting clients such as HSBC, Net-A-Porter, REN, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Penhaligons, JP Morgan, and Puma showcasing my ability to deliver exceptional creative projects across multiple platforms. My role in assisting businesses in their endeavours is commendable, and my expertise can be a valuable asset to any organisation seeking to create meaningful and impactful designs.
My background and ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the Creative Arts Industry are inspiring and much-needed. My contributions to the industry and academia can help pave the way for a more equitable and representative future for all creatives, regardless of their background or ethnicity.
As a liberating creative leader, I strive to inspire, challenge, and elevate those around me, fostering an environment of growth and innovation.
