I’m a design consultant, artist, and educator.
I work with people to:
Realise creative projects
Define and refine their brands
Enhance their living spaces with bespoke artwork and lighting designs
Connect with a broad public audience
I approach artworks with a designer’s eye - and designs with an artist’s mind.
In practice, this means that I’m guided from blank canvas to finished piece by a combination of methodical design processes, intuitive artistic instincts, and practical experiments.
I see my work as exploratory, and this process helps me to discover new ideas.
My sculptures emerge from an open question:
- How can we make surprising forms from humble materials?
My representational pieces have a direct appeal as recognisable silhouettes, which is then enhanced by their qualities as sculptural forms.
My abstract pieces range in style from highly controlled ‘rule based’ designs to free-form ‘intuitive’ ones. Recent work aims to strike a satisfying balance between these two poles of freedom and constraint, and a growing number of sculptures sit between these categories, with familiar decorative motifs reinterpreted for a modern audience.
My drawing workshops aim to empower people:
- What if we weren’t aiming to draw beautifully, but truthfully?
My logos and branding projects combine clarity and purpose:
- How can we summarise a complex business both succinctly and wittily?
