About me

My role is to support the development of consultancy activities at UWE and ensure that our service is working well for all involved. The purpose of the role is to ensure UWE continues to provide valuable services to local organisations from start-ups to charities by supporting them to access UWE's rich academic expertise and technical resources. 

Prior to this role, I was Programme Lead for the BA (Hons) Business (Team Entrepreneurship) at UWE. This distinctive programme provides a unique pathway through university. Its pedagogy combines team-based, self-managed and experiential learning. Whilst working on this programme I led initiatives to ensure Student Entrepreneurs could access real-world opportunities to test their ideas and develop competencies. As a result, our graduates became highly employable or set up their own companies.

Before working at UWE I worked at Design Council as Product Development Manager / Programme Lead. I oversaw the piloting and scaling of Design Council Spark, a product innovation accelerator programme. https://www.designcouncil.org.uk/our-resources/archive/case-studies/spark/ 
Qualified as a Product Designer, I have a passion for helping designers, change-makers, inventors and artists to find opportunities for taking their ideas to market.
