Siobhan Lyons

Accomplished educator, course leader, and creative practitioner with 15+ years of experience spanning fashion communication, styling, art direction, and cultural production. I bring a unique dual expertise in higher education and professional practice, enabling me to inspire and equip students with industry-ready skills and critical awareness.

Previoulsy Module Leader at Sheffield Hallam University, and currently Short Course Leader at Central Saint Martins, for Fashion Styling IntensiveI have also taught across leading UK institutions including Middlesex University, Salford, Westminster, Oxford University, Condé Nast College of Fashion, Bath, Preston, Brighton, LCF, Leeds, and Istituto Marangoni. My teaching practice champions inclusivity, diversity, and experimental pedagogy, underpinned by a strong research-led approach to visual culture, creative research, and fashion futures.

My teaching practice is grounded in inclusivity, critical engagement, and creative experimentation. I aim to equip students with both technical skills and critical thinking abilities so they can navigate and shape the rapidly evolving creative industries.

I place emphasis on student-led exploration, encouraging diverse approaches to visual culture, identity, and representation. By weaving in practices of Mindfulness and Philosophy, I create space for reflection, awareness, and creativity, ensuring that learning environments are not only intellectually rigorous but also compassionate and supportive.

I am particularly committed to developing inclusive pedagogies for neurodivergent creative students, fostering environments where every learner feels valued and empowered to bring their authentic voice to their work.
