After working as a theatre practitioner and community artist in the early 2000s, I moved into strategic work, supporting organisations to refine their practice with and for children and young people, schools and communities.

In 2017, I took the decision to re-build my artistic practice, whilst continuing to support organisations through consultancy. 

As an artist and educator, I am interested in the stories that emerge when we place imagination at the centre of our lives and communities. The start of this might emerge from a conversation, a drawing or an observation of the world. The process and form moves according to the people in the work, and their way of communicating their experiences and longings. I like making stories with people, and I am curious about what it teaches us.

My combined experience as a practitioner and as a strategist make my consultancy useful because it blends aspirational thinking with practical application. I’ve worked with small, local teams and national organisations. I’m a good listener and an effective process holder. I will help you to reflect on what values you want your work to embody, and then help you to move into practice.

I tend to work with people over the long-term; whether that’s through a deeper process or as an occasional critical friend. I am always pleased to find new collaborators with shared values.
