Welcome. This site documents my project-based learning, including my professional consultancy, my learning through creative play and my teaching projects.

When I am not making things, I am mostly dancing on roller skates.

My professional work is in the area of Innovation, Product Design and Design Engineering. (LinkedIn profile.)

I have a Masters degree in Industrial Design Engineering from the Royal College of Art, and a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College, London.

I was the Associate Head of Department for Design and Technology at UWE Bristol, UK. I lectured across 13 different specialist subjects in Product Design and Design Engineering.

Over the last 35 years, I have taught a range of dance and movement skills, skating, juggling, object manipulation and dance.
