Curating and..
I curate craft and design exhibitions, I’m currently working on two exhibitions with tapestry maker Jennie Moncur and embroiderer Anne Kelly, both due to open this year at Ruthin Craft Centre in Wales.
I do talks about my writing, digital and curating work. This year I am the Guest Judge for the Design Writing Prize for the Design History Society and I talked about design writing on a podcast for them, you can listen to it here.
I have also lectured at my alma mater, the Royal College of Art.
