I am a Senior Lecturer and the Course Leader for MA Ceramics. I am responsible for all aspects of curriculum, management delivery and development, and fostering links with industry through collaborative projects.
I attended the University of Wales, Staffordshire University, Savonia Polytechnic, and the Royal College of Art before becoming a tableware designer in France and Stoke-on-Trent. I have over 10 years’ experience designing for mass manufacturing in the hospitality industry, including creating best-selling ranges for global brands.
I am currently an External Examiner at Central Saint Martins.
