Through millinery, making and storytelling, I create engaging learning experiences that explore culture, identity, migration and belonging. Drawing on my background as a Design & Technology educator and researcher, my workshops and talks invite audiences to connect with heritage through creativity, conversation and hands-on making.

I work with museums, galleries, schools, community organisations and cultural institutions to deliver inclusive programmes for children, young people, adults and intergenerational audiences. Whether through artist-led workshops, public talks, family learning or teacher CPD, my aim is to inspire curiosity, creativity and meaningful connections with history and culture.
