About

I'm an energetic, and (slightly worryingly) enthusiastic packaging educator, designer & communicator, with an extensive industry track record in sheet material conversion.

I lead the Art & Design Apprenticeship Portfolio within Sheffield Hallam University, helping both companies and apprentices reach their full work based learning potential.

As course leader of the Packaging Professional BSc, I'm part of the team developing a new wave of pan-supply-chain talent, ready to cope with the complex demands placed on professionals working towards more equitable, sustainable outcomes for the sector.

I have extensive experience within Manufacturing, Brand Owner and Design Consultancy packaging teams, winning work, and awards in every workplace.
