As an

interdisciplinary

creative, my working practice is the result of twenty years of

collaboration

across a wide

range

of domains.

My process revolves around the

questioning

of why something is and

what makes it work

. Playfullness leads to discovery, maping the narrative threads that drive my work.

Resorcefull thinking

and non bias pathfinding help me to turn

thoughts into things

.

My work is all about the process not the output

2000 - 2005 - 2015 - 2015 - 2020 - NOW
Studying

Graphic Design

, I went on to work for

Alexander McQueen

as their in-house

Graphic Designer.

Intrigued by form and pattern, I founded their first internal

fashion print department.

This led to me co-designing the iconic

Skull scarf

, developing a process to create

engineered prints

and creating the

feather prints

for the

Irene

collection.

2000 - 2005 - 2010 - 2015 - 2021 NOW
After completing a Masters at the

Royal College of Art

, I became a practicing artist in the international Art-Design market, merging pattern and technology to install works at

Art Basel Miami

, Milan,

Sketch

DCA

CAMH

London Design Museum

and

Heathrow's Terminal 5.

2000 - 2005 - 2010 - 2015 - 2020 NOW
The following years saw a shift into commertial large scale experiences, moving image and live events. Working as part

2012 Olympics

ceremonies team and with brands such as

Landrover

Jaguar

, AMEX, MTV and

Pernod Ricard

.

2000 - 2005 - 2010 - 2015 - 2020 - NOW
After meeting my

business partner

Cultural institutions and partners

LACMA

Dr James Fox

London Design Festival

and

Manchester International Festival

2000 - 2005 - 2010 - 2015 - 2020 - NOW
Over the last year, the landscape of the events industry has fundamentally changed.

Production

platforms

now need to consider the

physical

and

virtual

as a single interdependent experience.

Working with

Unreal Engine

and

XR platforms

I have interrogated how these often tech led stages could offer insights into the

future

of an

authentic and meshed

multiverse performance experience.

2000 - 2005 - 2015 - 2015 - 2020 - NOW
