Since 2017 I have been teaching illustration at Ireland's National College of Art & Design
The course is the first Illustration BA in Ireland. I design and deliver briefs on a broad range of topics including research, studio practice and professional practice.
In 2021, I delivered an academic poster at the Illustration Research Symposium #11. The poster explored how the history of illustration can be utilized within the studio to introduce students to practical research methodologies that can inform and support their own practice as illustrators.
I often work with organisations in delivering workshops and live drawing events
I work predominantly with young audiences, with a focus on arts education. Over the last fifteen plus years, I have had the pleasure of working with many great organisations including:
A Playful City, Dublin
The Ark, Dublin
Bombinate Theatre
Chester Beatty, Dublin
Connect the Dots, Dublin
Design Museum, London
Dublin City Arts Office
Dublin City Council Sports & Recreation Services
Dublin City Libraries
Edinburgh International Science Festival
Fighting Words, Dublin
National Drawing Day, Ireland
National Gallery of Ireland
