Describe your approach to teaching
With my broad range of industry experience, I’m able to bring practical insight into my teaching, by educating and empowering students to explore their creativity.

What inspires your own work?
I’m always looking for the design story behind any space, product or colour palette: this is always the key to a successful scheme, and I love encouraging readers or clients to explore this, too.
