Artist based in London. 
I am an artist living and working in London, based at Staffordshire Street Studios in Peckham. 

Alongside my practice, I collaborate with musicians, artists, and organisations to create visual identities, images, or moving image work.

I also offer support work for writing funding applications. Feel free to get in touch if you are looking for some help.

Currently:

I am working on completing 3 Minutes to Midnight, an interactive game which has secured further Arts Council funding for final development. I will also be working with organisations, Site Gallery and The Photographer’s Gallery, to deliver game development workshops for their young people programmes. 

The project also involves R&D for the initiation of an artist-run game studio, which will be launched in 2025/6. The studio will focus on research, commissioning, and disseminating artist made games.

Welcome anyone getting in touch for collaborations or a chat                :)

Residency: Connected Ports: Building Digital Worlds and Encounters  Residency, Kino Beat Festival and Cine Esquema Novo (Brazil) with FACT (Liverpool), 2025
