Rwy'n addysgwr ac ymarferydd Celf a Dylunio gyda mwy na 30 mlynedd o brofiad addysgu ar draws sector Prifysgol y DU sydd wedi'i leoli yn Ysgol Celf a Dylunio Caerdydd ar hyn o bryd. Fe wnes i hyfforddi a gweithio'n fasnachol fel ymgynghorydd dylunio graffig gan weithio gyda nifer o gwmnïau proffil uchel yn y DU a Rhyngwladol gan ganolbwyntio ar frandio, pecynnu a marchnata. Yn 1990 sefydlais fy ymgynghoriaeth ddylunio fy hun yn arbenigo mewn cyhoeddi 'addysg wyddoniaeth' ffeithiol i blant. Ers hynny rwyf wedi beichiogi, ysgrifennu, dylunio a chynhyrchu mwy nag ugain o lyfrau mewn partneriaeth â nifer o gyhoeddwyr rhyngwladol gan gynnwys Harper Collins, Walker Books, Dorling Kindersley, Orchard Books a chydweithio â 'The London Science Museum' ar amrywiaeth o brosiectau sydd wedi ennill gwobrau. Cyhoeddwyd fy ngwaith mewn mwy nag ugain o wledydd a derbyniodd nifer o ganmoliaeth y diwydiant gan gynnwys 'Llyfr Gwyddoniaeth Plant y Flwyddyn' (DU), 'The British Book Awards', 'The Parents Choice - Gold Award' a 'Gwobr Platinwm Oppenheim' (UDA).
Ymchwil gyfredol
Mae fy ymchwil gyfredol yn archwilio dulliau addysg a dysgu S.T.E.A.M.(Gwyddoniaeth, Technoleg, Peirianneg, Celf, Mathemateg) yng nghyd-destun polisïau addysg S.T.E.A.M. llywodraeth y DU.
Rwyf wedi gweithio ar y cyd dros fy ngyrfa gydag ystod amrywiol o gleientiaid gan gynnwys:
Boots / The Watts Publishing Group / Dorling kindersley / Harper Collins / Tiger Aspect / MTV / The Gourmet Pizza Company / Basildon Bond / Sellotape / The National Rivers Authority / Swansea City Football Club / Forestry Commission for Wales, Chrysalis Group
Mae gweithio yn y diwydiannau dylunio a chyhoeddi ehangach wedi fy arfogi ag ystod amrywiol o sgiliau a galluoedd sydd, yn fy marn i, yn berthnasol iawn i addysgu ac ymchwil gan gynnwys:
Cydlynu prosiectau o'r dechreuad hyd at gynhyrchu
Paratoi cyllidebau a chynigion ffioedd
Comisiynu ffotograffwyr, darlunwyr a dylunwyr eraill
