Creative Practitioner & Facilitator | Supporting people, organisations and communities to explore ideas, make connections and see things differently | Community, Nature & the Arts

Consultant:

I’m fascinated by people—what makes us tick, how we relate to each other, and how we get things done. Drawing from my background in organisational development and learning, I help communities, teams, and individuals explore aspects of their work, uncover fresh perspectives, and surface the deeper truths behind how they think, feel, and act.

Community:

Community matters to me. For the last decade I’ve used my skills as a project manager, facilitator, artist and conservationist to support wellbeing in communities. Through workshops and various participative initiatives, I enjoy creating and codesigning opportunities to bring people together, talk, listen, problem solve and create opportunities to improve how we work and live together.

I’ve delivered creative projects with dozens of local schools and designed interactive workshops for all ages, including council-commissioned online creative sessions and Art Lab, a youth program combining art and scientific exploration.

As Project Manager for Arts Network Sutton, I coordinated the borough-wide Youth Art Show for three consecutive years and launched Creative Connections, a National Lottery-funded initiative commissioning local artists to provide accessible creative experiences. I also co designed and led a succesful bid to deliver a new community project exploring our roots and connections through art.

Nature:

My interest in nature goes right back to my childhood days as a member of the Young Ornithologists Club. Through my role as a London National Park City Ranger I create and support opportunities for people and communities to improve their awareness and connection with the natural world around us. Being in nature is key to our wellbeing and you’ll often find me leading nature walks, taking part in citizen science work, and consulting with communities about the nature on their doorstep, and how to care for it and enhance it.

Artist:

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working with a range of materials, techniques, and surfaces. My work explores connectedness, from the hyper-local—like my regular walk to my studio in Oaks Park—to the vast, intricate networks of the natural world, such as the ‘wood wide web,’ where underground roots, fungi, and bacteria connect trees and plants. I create in my studio and on location, bringing art to people and places worldwide.

Illustrator:

I specialise in live event illustration, visual minutes, and graphic reporting, transforming conversations into engaging visuals that capture key insights and spark deeper discussions. Whether at conferences, strategy sessions, or team workshops, my work helps people and organisations see their ideas in new ways.

I’m available for hire! Whether you need live event illustration, visual storytelling, or creative collaboration, let’s connect and bring ideas to life together.
