• In my current role as Pathway Leader, Design for Advertising (BA Graphic & Media Design) at London College of Communication I aim to inspire and manage young professionals at the start of their careers. I have built a pioneering course that focuses on environmental, political, social and cultural issues; examines the ethics of advertising locally and globally; and harnesses the power of advertising in order to add value to brands, nurture entrepreneurial ideas and produce inclusive and empowering communication.

• I have run no.star as my design business since 1994, working for a variety of charities and arts organisations.

• My research interests centre around design and health promotion (especially HIV/AIDS), volunteering and social responsibility in design.

Silver Action
Sunday February 3rd 2013
Invited to bear witness via social media for this event.
Hundreds of women over the age of sixty converge on The Tanks at Tate Modern to participate in Silver Action, a live and unscripted performance of staged conversations. UK-based women who took part in significant activist movements and protests from the 1950s to 80s were invited to share their personal stories.



Truly inspirational – 400 older activist women have their voices heard and streamed around the world via social media. Proud to have been a part of it. Comments all on Twitter: #silveraction @nostarpro
