Creative

Interactive Organiser

I have made an additional version of the interactive organiser (which I have designed), which enabled me to volunteer at the UK's largest Latin-related New Year event. Because of my expanded role, the organiser I created was expanded to include additional supervisory duties.

Marketing Video trial

I have produced a further series of video promotional trials. It was started in December 2024 when I developed a series of video reels to promote my festive online feature, which I present every year, along with a mini celebratory feature which marked 21 years since I started a special series of Creative designs for the festive season.

Then, I also developed a video promotional trial to encourage people to explore my dancing awareness feature, "Embrace Dancing".
This was shared on New Year's Day when attending the Latin dancing convention NYE Fest.

Special

Awareness Representation publication

Started From late 2024, I have developed a specialised insight and analysis document. This relates to the issue of misrepresentation towards visible disabilities and neurodivergent individuals. This was made after I had taken action against stigmatising and offensive remarks by high-profile people, including cabinet politicians and a disgraced television personality.

The Representation document is available to view online
