I love all things design - it's such a powerful tool for communication.
I completed a multi-disciplinary degree in art and design that used the Bauhaus teaching methods over the three year course. I learnt how to weave on a huge loom, typeset using lead type (no computers) fine art/life drawing, etching, print-making, ceramics and textile design to name but a few. In my final year, I specialised in print-making, fine art embroidery and textiles.
I later became a graphic designer but kept up my interest in other areas of design over the course of my career.
There are many aspects of graphic design and I hope I can give students confidence in being able to take a concept and move it through to the point of sending to print.

My interests are varied but I love to be creative. I enjoy amigurumi crochet, fine art embroidery and visible mending to relax. I like travelling and seeing ancient archaeological sites. Photography has been a long-term hobby of mine, so I have many images of my travels. One of my favourite things when travelling through France are the very creative traffic roundabouts. They always put a smile on my face! Big Tour de France fan - I've managed to see many stages of the famous cycle race over the years. I'm learning Welsh as I moved to a Welsh-speaking area five years ago. I'm originally from Yorkshire in the North of England, so am finding the pronunciation very difficult. Currently trying to tame an old apple orchard, whilst keeping it a haven for wildlife and birds.
