I have worked as an art director and studio manager, multimedia producer, learning materials and communication consultant and freelance film maker. I also have substantial experience of designing, managing and delivering corporate training and further and higher education.

Graduating with honours, my first degree was in ‘audio visual design’, my masters degree was in ‘computing in design’ and my award winning PhD explored the design and deployment of learning technology to support the acquisition and development of practical skills by undergraduate art and design students studying in the UK.

My research interests revolve around user experience design (UXD) across digital media domains and both practice-based and action research which explores/examins UXD in action.

Currently I advise on the design and deployment of a range of interactive and communication media; lecture to Interactive Media, Video and Film Production, Multimedia and Computer Games Design students at a UK university. I also play around with a variety of digital media concepts several of which having been published in Japan, Germany, USA and the UK.
