Hello! My name is Heather Robson and I am the Head of the School of Design at Northumbria University and have the privilege of working with Converge at Northumbria from its very beginnings. Creative practice is my passion, I have always worked in a creative Faculty and believe everyone should have the opportunity to engage and explore arts and creativity as part of their everyday life. The thing I love about Northumbria and Converge is that anything feels possible, and together we can make a positive difference, grow opportunities, knowledge and creative confidence to change our worlds for the better.
