Welcome. This site is a portfolio of my project-based learning, including my professional consultancy, my learning through creative play and some of my teaching projects.
When I am not making things, I am usually dancing on roller skates.
My professional work is in Innovation, Product Design and Design Engineering. (LinkedIn profile.)
I have a Master’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering from the Royal College of Art and a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College, London.
For many years, I was a University senior lecturer in Product Design and Design Engineering and the Associate Head of Department for Design and Technology at UWE Bristol.
Over the last 35 years, I have taught a range of movement skills, including: skating, juggling, object manipulation and dance.
