Interests
I have a strong passion for coding and digital development, regularly exploring new programming languages and creating small apps — including custom software to support my daughter's care, now shared with other parents., I enjoy creative design work and have produced branding projects, including research for my dissertation on colour blindness and its impact on branding accessibility. I also develop educational E-safety materials used in multiple schools.
