    In 2017 I was awarded an LDoc AHRC-funded PhD studentship, part of an enhanced doctoral training with a focus on practice-led Design research. Studying at the Royal College of Art, London I am investigating the influence of skateboarding on visual fashion practices, with a focus on visual ethnography, autoethnography reflective practice and media as cultural narrative.
