My Work

My practice explores the psychogeographical journey we take through life and the deep connection we share with our surroundings, both natural and built. I am fascinated by how environments shape who we are and, in turn, how we shape them. Through photography, I investigate the “in-between” suburban spaces that feel familiar yet overlooked, using them as a lens to explore memory, growth, and identity. My aim is to create thought-provoking images that spark dialogue around social and environmental issues, using photography as a medium for awareness and change.

Alongside my photographic work, I have extensive experience in design, branding, and creative production, leading campaigns that combine visual storytelling with strategic impact. From shaping brand identities for university-wide initiatives to producing large-scale cultural events, my work bridges concept development and hands-on design execution. I am passionate about crafting cohesive visual narratives that resonate across digital, print, and experiential platforms.

About Me

I began my creative career as a sculptural ceramicist in London, teaching from a small studio in Stoke Newington while managing historic properties for English Heritage. After relocating to the South West, my focus shifted to photography, a passion that quickly earned recognition, including an Associate distinction from the Royal Photographic Society. Recently, I completed a Master’s degree in Photography at Falmouth University, where my final major project, featured on this site, reflects my ongoing interest in the interplay between people and place.

Beyond photography, I have directed creative strategies for campaigns such as I am BSU and MyCareer resources re-boot, managed branding for cultural events like the Frome Tattoo Convention, and collaborated on digital innovation projects including the Skills Canvas initiative as part of Bath Spa University’s Adobe Creative Campus. These experiences have strengthened my ability to combine artistic vision with design expertise, delivering work that inspires and engages.
