I understand how challenging it can be to master perspective, colour, and contrast, or to translate complex concepts into compelling visuals and clear projects, and I love helping others navigate that process. My goal is to help you grow your skills, strengthen your creative voice, and find joy and confidence in the act of drawing and designing. I offer lessons for architecture and design students, or individual interested in design, who want to strengthen their visual communication skills through drawing and sketching, from foundational techniques to advanced architectural and landscape illustration. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, judgement-free atmosphere where you can learn and experiment with confidence. My lessons are engaging and tailored to your individual needs, blending structured learning with creative exploration. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, my adaptable approach ensures you feel both comfortable and challenged. With experience teaching languages, dance, and drawing, I focus on building a positive and effective learning experience, for adults and young adults, online or in person. I can help you with: - For architecture and design students: communicate your ideas clearly, develop visual thinking, and refine your portfolio, renders, and presentation skills. - Architectural and landscape illustration: master perspective, light, and contrast to bring your drawings to life. - Art journaling: explore creative sketching as a way to express ideas and document inspiration. Write me if you have specific needs!

Trusted teacher: Taught by RCA graduate and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. This class is an informal assessment of your visual arts level. It is available online internationally and in person within 25 miles of BH12 in the UK.* The purpose of this class is to discover what visual arts level you are. This information can be used so I can create bespoke classes for you, you may be wanting a second opinion or you may want advice on what creative path to follow, whether that is continuing to work with me or for further education, scholarships or competition applications. You are welcome to book to support your education, for leisure or simply so I can help you fulfil a creative dream. I also have a lot of experience helping clients overcome creative blocks and developing wellbeing practices for creatives. I am here to support you, so however you wish to use this class and its results is your choice. We will discuss your passions and your goals. You will be asked to prepare a selection of the work you have made previously to show me. This should demonstrate the range of media you enjoy working with, the subjects you love and/or the goal you currently have. Eg. If you would like to improve your painting, make sure you include recent examples of your painting. If you do not have anything, please do not worry we can create some together. In this class I will ask you some questions and I will ask you to draw for me so I can assess your drawing ability and look at how you use your tools. By asking you to draw for me, I am assessing many things that are relevant for all methods of visual arts so please do not worry if drawing is not a strength of yours. If you have particular goals we will explore this also. I will explain more as we work together. I can provide a paragraph of written tutorial feedback on what we discover together in this class so you can use this as reference moving forwards (this is optional). I look forward to working with you and learning more about your art and your goals. *If your location is more than 5 miles from BH12 then there will be an additional fee for my time travelling for you. This is charged at half the hourly teaching rate pro rata.

Excellent friendly communication, easy to arrange lessons at a time that's convenient for me. After an initial discussion she made a lesson plan based on the specific areas I wanted to focus on, with additional lessons based on areas she identified. Lessons are friendly and open - concepts are clearly communicated with room to ask as many questions as needed.
