International Collaborations:

Japanese Martial Arts Community
My artistic and cultural role within the International Bujinkan community is grounded in long term practice, certified instruction, and active collaboration across one of the world’s largest traditional martial arts networks. The Bujinkan comprises hundreds of thousands of practitioners in over 50 countries, and my work sits within this global framework through collaborations with dojos and practitioners in Japan, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, France and Slovenia, contributing to both training and cultural representation while remaining closely connected to the organisation’s Japanese roots.
In 2025, I represented the Bujinkan community at an international organisational gathering by producing a kanshajo (certificate of appreciation) for the Japanese Ambassador in Ireland, translating traditional Japanese forms into a contemporary diplomatic context. I have also been directly involved in hosting one of the current international soke in Dublin, supporting high level transmission and reinforcing Ireland’s position within the wider international network.
As a certified instructor, I remain in regular contact with Japanese teachers and senior practitioners, maintaining direct exchange with the highest levels of practice worldwide. Through this combination of instruction, international collaboration, artistic production, and cultural representation, my work reflects the full range of the modern Bujinkan as a living, outward looking global community.

Corporate Organisations
I offer, and have offered, large scale events for private corporate organisations designed to support both professional growth and personal wellbeing. Each experience is thoughtfully built around mentorship and practical teachings, with a strong emphasis on mindfulness and mental health. The core vehicle for this work is meditative Zen Calligraphy, used as a very hands on practice that encourages focus, presence, and embodied learning.
Every program is custom tailored to align with the values, goals, and challenges of each organisation, ensuring each event feels purposeful and relevant. Through guided trails and immersive sessions, participants are invited to slow down, reconnect, and develop lasting tools for resilience and clarity. I am fully flexible with travel and can deliver these experiences wherever they are needed.
Artistic Collaborations
My practice is rooted in collaboration with the artistic community and in building meaningful connections that foster culture, creativity, and shared growth. I work closely with cultural institutions, independent galleries, and hospitality spaces across Europe, developing projects that are shaped by dialogue and exchange. Alongside these collaborations, I create bespoke works and site-specific exhibitions that respond to the character and atmosphere of each location.
