I'm a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Hull's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Research, where I investigate how media representations of suicide shape public understanding and prevention strategies—work deeply rooted in social justice principles.
My journey spans four decades as a pioneering new media artist, with internationally exhibited and broadcast work that bridges creative expression and technological innovation. This unique perspective led me to serve as Assistant Professor and Course Director of the MA in Media Management at Coventry University, where I merged academic rigour with practical industry insights.
Beyond academia, I've held leadership positions across the creative technology sector and built a successful creative media business for over 15 years, delivering digital content and technological solutions for major events. My interdisciplinary expertise weaves together visual arts, media studies, social sciences, and user experience design—always with an eye toward how technology and creativity can serve meaningful social purposes.
Whether through research, teaching, artistic practice, or entrepreneurship, I'm driven by the belief that media and technology should illuminate, connect, and ultimately improve the human experience.

Music by Hector Zazou/Laurie Anderson collaborative sound track, “into your dreams”, from the brilliant album, “Strong Currents “ provides the perfect zeitgeist during these strange lockdown/pandemic/isolation times.
