Creative Learning Designer

Creativity is a
lifelong skill
& a universal language.

I work at the intersection of art, science, and technology — nurturing creativity in children and educators through hands-on experiences.

About

Creativity has the power to transform lives.

I've dedicated my career to nurturing creativity in children and educators through engaging, hands-on learning experiences that blend art, science, and technology.

My work involves coding, stop-frame animation, AI, and creative making — delivered through educational content, CPD trainings, and designed learning spaces where everyone can explore freely.

With two Master's degrees and experiences across four continents, I believe creativity is both a lifelong skill and a universal language.

Work

Creative learning,
made by hand.

01 / Children

Workshops & Events

02 / Educators

CPD Training

Professional development that inspires teachers to embrace creative, technology-rich pedagogy. Block coding, physical computing, participatory research, and design thinking — delivered across multiple countries since 2018.

03 / Institutions

Learning in action

Creative Coding

Block coding & physical computing

Coding as a tool for critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Children start with block coding and progress to physical computing with micro:bits and Makey-Makeys — bringing their own inventions to life and using digital skills to solve real-world problems.

STEAM Play

Making, building & experimenting

Hands-on making activities — scribble machines, painting machines, catapults, rockets, and racing machines. Focused on creation, creativity, and collaborative play where the process matters far more than the outcome.

DiscoTech Events

Discovering Technology together

Community-led events where families and educators examine technology's impact on society through hands-on stations. Hosted annually at Yerbury School since 2017, DiscoTech brings everyone together to explore, question, and create with technology.

For Educators

Creative Coding for Educators

Teaching block coding and physical computing to educators across multiple countries since 2018. Combining participatory research and design thinking to spark innovation and bring creative teaching into every classroom.
