Teaching

I am an illustrator and educator who teaches in both traditional and digital media. I have a love for visual storytelling and empowering students with a foundation of practical methods and theory.
 
With my experience in the creative industries, I work to develop an understanding of industry processes and standards to give students a scaffolding from which to develop their practice. I focus very heavily on the understanding of the relationship between creator, client and audience.

​My teaching includes hands on demonstration of core creative principles, discussion based lectures, and encourages students to challenge existing paradigms. 
 
I have taught at University for the Creative Arts, University of Hertfordshire, Canterbury Christ Church University, multiple universities in China, Otis College of Art and Design, and private ateliers in the UK and France. I embrace the challenges of differing methods, systems, goals and most of all, communicating abstract ideas to different cultures.

My taught subjects include:
​
- Illustration and Graphic Novels
- 2D Art for Games Design
- Graphic Design
- 2D Animation
- Life Drawing and Anatomy
- Oil Painting
- Art Theory
- Professional Practice

Currently, I am based in Southeast England as a Senior Lecturer in Games Design at Canterbury Christ Church University while I continues creative projects.

I run classes on site and online, for more information please contact me.
