Lecturer in Communication Design and Product Innovation at the University of South Australia,with an emphasis on creativity and Innovation and an involvement in Design Education for over thirty years. I have conducted research into the teaching of creativity, convened conferences as well as publishing and presenting at numerous conferences and industry workshops. My work on creativity across disciplines locally, nationally and internationally has facilitated significant curriculum change to reflect creative capacity in teaching and learning and the graduate attributes of students. This has led to a Teaching and Learning Citation for Teaching Excellence and Research, a University Teaching and Learning Grant and participation in a successful OLT grant to develop an on-line creativity teaching framework, 'Ingenium'. I have acted as an international consultant in integrating creativity across disciplines, working on projects promoting, Design, Design Education, Drawing and Creativity.
