Q2: Life
Give us a glimpse into your life story so far with an emphasis on what you are doing currently?
Came out of art school, and worked freelance in the design industry as a job in graphic designer. I trained actually as an illustrator and printmaker, but then went to the Royal College of Art and did graphics there. I was passionate about seeing the world partly because I couldn't read so I learned through seeing things and hearing things and ended up during that time working for a number of different NGOs in different countries. Had two children and also had a massive midlife crisis in my 40s and then out of that midlife crisis came this idea of building a creative platform that would encourage the creative industry, the design industry to use its talents for social and environmental impact. That was the start of Creative Conscience
