My Practice

My practice focuses on designing participatory art processes that support inclusion, wellbeing and public engagement.

My practice operates across public art, community participation, exhibition-making and creative health. I design and deliver projects that combine strong visual outcomes with inclusive, carefully structured processes.

I work collaboratively, often at the intersection of multiple partners — including councils, cultural institutions, healthcare organisations and community groups. Projects typically begin with listening and co-design, followed by the development of a clear framework that supports participation while maintaining artistic integrity. This balance between openness and structure is central to how I work.

A significant part of my practice is informed by my background in graphic design. I run a design studio with over 15 years’ experience, which shapes how I approach narrative, accessibility, scale and production. This training supports the planning and delivery of complex projects, from exhibition layouts and public installations to large-scale participatory programmes. Design functions as a practical and ethical tool within my practice — ensuring clarity, coherence and care at every stage.

I am particularly experienced in working within creative health contexts. In healthcare, community care and socially engaged settings, I design creative processes that are sensitive to access needs, pace and wellbeing. Here, the focus is on agency and dignity, using making as a way to support reflection, expression and connection rather than outcome-driven production alone.

My practice spans a wide range of formats — murals, installations, processions, exhibitions and workshops — and scales, from small-group sessions to borough-wide programmes. I am comfortable managing logistics, teams, partners and timelines, and adapting projects to different environments and communities.

At its core, my practice is committed to responsibility: to participants, to place, and to the contexts in which the work is situated.
