‎Artist, educator and creative consultant

Christina is a community artist, educator and creative consultant whose work lives where art, education and community meet. With over two decades of experience in classrooms, school leadership and cultural practice, she founded Doodle Designs to bring people together through meaningful, collaborative creativity.

Her practice is rooted in co-design, transforming lived experiences, local histories and diverse voices into vibrant public artworks and shared cultural moments. From murals and installations to festivals and urban design consultations, Christina creates spaces where communities help to shape the outcome.

Known for her thoughtful, people first approach, Christina blends educational expertise with a passion for access and inclusion, opening up high quality creative opportunities to those who are often left out. Whether mentoring teachers, guiding young people as creative leaders, or working alongside councils and architects, her work is driven by a belief that creativity can strengthen communities and leave a lasting mark on place.

Alongside her artistic practice, Christina is an education consultant and trained mentor with the Department for Education, supporting London schools in teacher development and creative practice.
