I’m a British neurodivergent professional with autism, bringing a kind, diplomatic, and deeply curious approach. My introverted nature supports a reflective perspective, grounded in theory and enriched by lived experience. I currently contribute to East London Waterworks Park through community-led research and graphic design.

Education background
For my secondary education, I attended Dawn House, a boarding school in Nottinghamshire tailored for children with learning difficulties. Despite my initial struggles with verbal communication, I found my passion in Graphic Design. I pursued a BTEC Diploma at Vision West Nottinghamshire College and later continued my studies at North Kent College at Dartford.
I started and completed a foundation degree in Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts and then continued to pursue a Bachelor of Arts at UAL. I hold a BA in Graphic Design Communication from Chelsea College of Arts and an MA in Visual Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. My studies in Sociology have provided me with valuable skills in ethnography and empirical research, which have greatly enriched my contributions during the research phases of my design development projects. However, after facing the challenges of securing employment within the creative industry—a true Catch-22 situation—I decided to pursue a career as a social researcher.
My passion for learning is reflected in my extensive reading habits. I highly recommend exploring the resources I've gathered.
