I’m a Principal Lecturer in Design at Sheffield Institute of Arts, Regional and Global Engagement Lead for the Department of Art and Design, and a member of the Department Leadership Team.

I am a product designer and design researcher with an interest in critical design, design for a circular economy and extended product lifespan.

I have held the posts of Course Leader and Subject Group Leader for product design degree programmes and taught across undergraduate and postgraduate design courses. I am currently an external examiner at two UK Universities.

I have worked in design consultancy on a diverse range of projects that include industrial, commercial and consumer products. I have experience of working on consumer electrical goods, medical equipment, retail environments, structural packaging and industrial equipment.
