Studying art and design at Liverpool, North Staffordshire and the RCA, I am a graduate of the Royal College of Art, London where I gained an MA. I also have a post graduate teaching qualification from Goldsmiths, University of London.

I have worked in a variety of roles including schools and higher education. I was a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at the University of Plymouth, and a senior manager in Media & Resources and also of the Computing Service.

Since 1997, I have run my own consultancy business working on projects and providing advice and training for business and personal clients.  I have also worked as a part time Adult & Community Learning tutor of Digital Photography and Creative Digital Art for Devon County Council for whom I designed and tutored very many highly popular and successful introductory, intermediate and advanced courses. I also work with children aged 8 - 16 years. I specialise in providing personalised, bespoke training in digital photography delivered in my clients' homes, work places or at photoshoot locations. I also offer residential and non-residential 5-day courses at the Ammerdown Centre, near Bath, as well as day courses in the beautiful county of Devon.

Locally, I regularly show and exhibit my photography, often alongside drop-in digital photography surgeries. In 2010, I held my first client's public exhibition, images from which you can see in the website galleries. I also enjoy providing illustrated talks to clubs, societies and similar organisations.

This richly varied background means that I am skilled in providing friendly and relaxed tuition on the use of digital cameras as well as image editing software on a Windows or AppleMac computer. I am uniquely able to train in digital photography and creative digital art.
