icreate digital art club
At Boom Studios, I lead the iCreate Digital Art Club , a monthly program designed for young people aged 8+ to explore the exciting world of digital creativity. Each month, participants engage with a different art form, ranging from music production and filmmaking to digital drawing and animation.
Alongside this, I also run a popular Minecraft Club during school holidays and an immersive Summer Scheme in August, offering hands-on experiences that combine technology, creativity, and fun.
My path into teaching and facilitating workshops began with my own unconventional start in the arts. Leaving school with very few qualifications, I discovered my passion for creativity through a DJ summer school at SERC when I was 19. This opportunity led to five years of studying music as a DJ, where I became the first student to use turntables as their main instrument. The encouragement I received from incredible tutors, including the renowned Brian Irvine, now heading up the incredible Dumbworld, gave me the confidence to see myself as an artist and creator.
Inspired by this experience, I wanted to create workshops that empower young people who might not see themselves as “creative” or think they can pursue a career in the arts. My aim is to provide them with the tools, inspiration, and confidence to explore their potential and take their first steps in the creative arts.
With over a decade of experience in education and facilitation, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of organisations and institutions. For seven years, I lectured in the music department at SERC , before moving on to help develop the groundbreaking SonicAcademy.com platform.
Since 2010, I’ve worked as a freelance tutor, setting up my own business, Waveform Digital Media, and collaborating with arts organisations, schools, and charities to deliver innovative and engaging workshops to a wide range of young people.
Beyond teaching, my own creative practice centres around music production. As a musician, I’ve released tracks on labels across the globe, from Spain and Italy to the US and the UK. Currently, I’m one half of the post-rock/electronica duo Seaplanes. We’ve just completed production on our debut album and are excited to unveil it with a launch show planned for this summer.
