I am a visiting lecturer at University of the Arts London, a visiting tutor on the BA (Hons) Illustration course at Arts University Bournemouth and an associate lecturer on the BA (Hons) Illustration and Graphic Design courses at Buckinghamshire New University. Between 2007 and 2017 I held the position of senior lecturer at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bengaluru, India where I founded the Storybook Lab, led classroom client projects in partnership with development organisations and taught illustration, visual communication and art practice to Foundation, BA and MA students. I have also been an associate lecturer on the MA Fine Art Digital course at Camberwell College of Arts and an online tutor for the BA (Hons) Illustration programme at the Open College of the Arts. I am interested in teaching new and emerging contexts for illustration as well as intersections between art, illustration and design. This page documents some of the projects, courses and workshops that I've designed, taught and collaborated on.
