An experienced creative producer with a background in formal secondary education as well as informal creative learning, my participation practice explores visual culture, politics, sustainability and wellbeing. I work with people of all ages and different abilities to tackle big ideas through play, risk-taking and experimentation.
Recent partners include Whitworth Young Contemporaries, HOMEmcr, Bury Art Museum, The Turnpike, The Lowry, The Pankhurst Centre and Greater Manchester Youth Network.
