About
I’m a multi-disciplinary Digital Learning/XR Designer & Developer and 3D artist specialising in medical visualisation, XR development, and 3D solutions for healthcare education.
I design and develop innovative educational resources that transform complex medical knowledge into effective, accessible, and engaging learning experiences. My work spans 3D modelling, immersive XR(VR/AR/MR) training & learning tools, 3D printing, animations, and interactive digital content, supporting clinical training and enhancing communication in healthcare.
With a background in product design (CAD), medical visualisation, human anatomy, and fine art, I bring both creative and technical expertise to Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). I believe in co-design and user-centred approaches, working closely with diverse healthcare professionals to ensure solutions are accurate, impactful, and practical for real-world training.
Outside of work, I enjoy traditional drawing, hiking, and exploring new ideas at the intersection of art, science, technology, and design.
