In summary
This website is really about signposting. Find out more about my design work to help small charities and self-employed professionals Spectral Mirror Web Design, or perhaps more on the Registered Charities I have founded or have served on.
Additionally, with a growing interest in vintage TV and rare footage of star artists from their earlier years, my work as a TV producer and the back catalogue of The Bright Thoughts Company has much of the relevant information.
In this website there is an introduction and background to all of the above.

An arts backgroundCurrently, the focus is in working from home and web-based projects. My career however, has been as a TV producer, in stage production and the performing arts generally, working in many aspects of theatre, opera, and dance.
I have also led regeneration projects specialising in heritage restoration and historic building conservation. About a decade ago I added another string to the bow in becoming a web designer. |

Born in Bradford, Yorkshire and spent my childhood there. Mine is also a bit of a 'Billy Elliot' story.

I played the piano from a very early age and it never occurred to me that I couldn't or wouldn't dance, be creative and inventive and therefore the performing arts and the creative industries were a natural choice, and the training and experience I needed wasn't to be found locally.
In my school days, dyslexia had not even been identified let alone been given a name. Therefore the education system neither recognised my abilities nor assisted developing my skill-sets. My professional training in the performing arts started when I moved to Australia and then continued when I came back to the UK. |
Working in London's West End both preforming on stage, working backstage, also working in TV both in front of camera and behind camera I developed a wealth of experience during which time I was privileged to work with some highly talented and some gifted people. In my late 20's I became an independent TV producer and partner of The Bright Thoughts Company to supply programming to Channel 4 when it first came on air and for the first few years.
The love for heritage and conservation projects was ignited after leaving the industry and particularly in taking on roles of project management and/or trusteeship.
Web-design is something that intrigued me from the early days of the internet. Whist not a geek, I am intrigued by emerging technologies, how they can positively enhance all aspects of life and lifestyle.
In the 2020s, I am happy to curate the Bright Thoughts Company catalogue of productions and the portfolio of project concepts and formats. Where possible and practicable, I am also happy to assist in the realisation of new interpretations of the Bright Thoughts product, for example in an executive role.
