As Professor of Craft and Wellbeing in the School of Design, Arts and Creative Industries my work investigates the potential of creative practice and the act of making to support personhood and sense of self across a range of human contexts including dementia, bereavement and mental health.

I am editor for the Taylor and Francis journal Design for Health alongside Prof Claire Craig and Prof Paul Chamberlain, I am co-founder of the Research Through Design conference series with Prof Joyce Yee and I co-founded and co-editoed the Journal of Jewellery Research with Dr Roberta Bernabei 2017 - 2025.
