Born and raised in Leeds, England I moved to the USA on the verge of turning 20 to attend the prestigious College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati. From the Fall of 2001 to the Spring of 2009 I worked as an Assistant Professor of New Media at the University of Cincinnati within the College-Conservatory of Music's (CCM) Electronic Media Division.

While at CCM, I worked on a number of large-scale projection design projects within the United States and Europe. In the summers of 2006 and 2007 I lectured at Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität as part of the Munich Summer Curriculum. In the spring of 2009 I left the University of Cincinnati, and headed West to Los Angeles, California to explore a new and exciting opportunity at Loyola Marymount University (LMU | LA).

While at LMU | LA, I worked as the Instructional Technology Manager within the ITS Dept. Projects completed at LMU include the launch of the new Faculty Innovation Center (FIC) within the new $55 Million William H. Hannon Library, including the creation of the FIC website, various branding and promotional materials for the FIC. The branding and launch of Blackboard 9 as our Course Management System, the branding, design and development of the EduSoCal'10 website and supporting print collateral, and the print collateral for EduSoCal'11. EduSoCal is Southern California's premier event for higher education professionals in academic and information technology.

After leaving LMU in late June, I spent a wonderful six months in Singapore on sabbatical. Having recently returned to the US, I currently spend my time working on creative projects in Los Angeles and the Midwest.
