A working and exhibiting printmaker specialising in woodcut and linocut, I also work as a logo designer and illustrator on a crowdsource basis online where I work with design briefs set by clients.
I work sometimes as a sessional tutor with the ACL on a casual basis, where I have also received training as an exam invigilator. I have experience of game design with Stencyl software.
