Using a hybrid approach of short, hands-on practical exercises in moving image, while also delving into a rich history of diverse mediums such as animation, photography, film, and games, students will develop creative confidence as well as critical thinking to kickstart their artistic journeys.

As an alum from the prestigious Royal College of Art (RCA) along with 8 years of multi-disciplinary experience in film and design, I believe every artist's journey is unique and that uniqueness shapes their craft. No two students will be guided the same way. I adopt an agile approach, where I seek to understand a students' starting point, their existing skill level and unique goals. Building on this, I will design a learning experience crafted collaboratively with them, and uniquely for them.

Whether a student wants is to gain new skills, build projects for a portfolio, turn an idea into a real project, or just explore their creative abilities, each student will have the freedom to explore their curiosity and customize their learning.

Practical exercises will range according to a student's individual needs, and can be as diverse as building a visual journal/sketchbook through illustration, collaging and sketching, building a photography series or making short films, making zines and comics, and more.
