Accessibility
I work with accessibility considerations for organisations, workshops, community groups, technology and tools then I take a playful hands on approach or an evidence based practical research and expertised approach : whatever the project requires.

Designing different and positive futures. Digital Inclusion for The Musicians Union. Transformational Inclusion at the University of Bath. Designing positive future ands sustainable communities.
Digital and Design.
I have advised and consulted on several digital, technology and design based projects. These projects have included VR use and accessibility, digital interfaces and User Experience pathways on websites for organisation. There has been a strong focus on usability, accessibility and neuroinclusive practice. Past projects include Strength in Places My World in partnership with the Watershed Bristol.
