WORK HISTORY
Associate Director @Houghton Kneale Design Ltd
Time for a change In 2009 we moved HKD\'s design studio out of London to Margate. Setting up Marine Studios has allowed us to develop our own projects, work outside set briefs and commission new works.Long-term social and economic benefit was at the heart of every project. We focused extending cultural participation, supporting new creative practice and creating opportunities for learning and skill sharing. I am therefore delighted to be able to welcome the new management team to Marine Studios. I look forward to working with them as they build the new Writers Room, revive First Fridays and create a vibrant cultural hub in Margate. More here - examples- Back & FillBack & Fill is a direct response to the coronavirus crisis that nurtures the strength that is gained through collaboration. Back and Fill is a coastal call to arms, in which we invited creatives and businesses to programme simultaneous festivals in seaside towns around the UK. This movement is inspired by a need to support the fragile economy of seaside towns and empower individuals in uncertain times. Back & Fill will therefore invite people to come back to the coast for the October half term holiday and encourage creatives and local businesses to collaborate and forge a path for a sustainable future- GEEK I believe that learning through play & games (active engagement and fun) allows visitors to better understand a new concept or idea, take on a different perspective, or experiment with different choices. In response to my interest in these areas, I founded GEEK. Part museum, part Lab it is a platform to celebrate the past and test new ideas. It allows us to investigate, explore, commission, research and celebrate games and play within the realm of museums, galleries, heritage, science centres and more. Beginning as a festival in Margate, we have now run over 30 GEEK events around the world that have been attended by over visitors.
