Background

Welcome to my Hope Website. I qualified as an Architect at the University of Sheffield and combined teaching with practice for 10 years. Following a career break and a move to the North West, I started a Design Consultancy, Wyncote Design, and studied for a Masters in Information Systems whilst bringing up my children, Joseph and Danny. I worked for 4 years with Connect, a company specialising in Internet Technologies, at that time part of the University of Liverpool, before joining Liverpool Hope in 2002.

Teaching

The majority of my teaching is in the area of website design, 3D and multimedia.

Research

I am an active member of the Temporal Modelling Research Group. My research interests concern the representation of buildings and associated data over the Web. I am a member of the Web3D Consortium.
