I am a versatile inter-media artist, creative director, and founder of Xray Portals Ltd., with over 25 years of experience working across art, design, film, and television.

​

My portfolio includes architectural glass commissions for two John Lewis stores and a permanent installation for the Royal Society of Chemistry, as well as exhibitions at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art and the National Portrait Gallery. My work has been featured in publications such as The 100 Best Stained Glass Sites in London, and my academic writing has also been published.

​

In 2023, I completed an M.A. in Architectural and Urban Design at the University of Brighton, where I explored emerging technologies like augmented reality and 3D scanning. As the founder of Xray Portals Ltd., I create immersive, extended-reality experiences for historical sites and brands. Our augmented reality time portals bring history to life by allowing users to engage with historical figures and artefacts where they once stood, fostering a powerful connection to the past. We are also exploring partnerships with brands to design bespoke AR portals that immerse customers in their stories and values, offering unique and memorable experiences.

​

Alongside my art and design practice, I have worked extensively in film and television for over two decades. For details of my screen credits, visit my IMDb Profile.

​

I have shared insights from my professional and academic experience through guest lectures at the University of Brighton and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (University of the Arts London). I amkeen to further collaborate with academic institutions on research projects and as a guest lecturer or conference speaker.
