I have a BA in Product and Furniture Design. My passion for design, combined with the satisfaction I gain from helping others develop their skills and knowledge is the reason I decided to work in Design education.

I have 8 years industry experience working in-house for various high street retailers such as Marks and Spencer and John Lewis. My roles at these retailers involved design and development of a variety of 3D product across multiple areas including Home Accessories, Table top, Gifting, Wall décor and Seasonal products. One of my fondest memories is designing a jewellery box for the V&A museum.

Samantha O'Neill is known as Samantha Horn in her professional career as an Artist. Samantha has two first class degrees, a BA in Photography and a Masters in Fine Art. Her former career in Costume Design for film and television culminated with her winning an Emmy in 2006 but more importantly has allowed her concerns within the mediums of photography, film and costume to evolve in an enquiring and exploratory manner. Her work, primarily created through the use of photography, is concerned with 'cultural identity' and notions of 'belonging' found within narratives of European 'portrayal'. Samantha practices both digital and analog including 10x8 camera photography.
