In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the convergence of creativity and technology represents not just a trend but a burgeoning sector ripe with opportunities. To prepare young people for careers in this dynamic field, my research delves into the essential skills and opportunities necessary for success in creative technology. Drawing from his background as a creative practitioner, alongside his experience in education, he aims to illuminate the need for collaboration to redefine education and career development for a dynamic workforce for creative technology and the wider cultural sector.

He was recently recognised as a ‘Tech4Good Champion for the South West,’ Frazer is committed to using technology for social impact and supports organisations and educators through consultancy, designing tailored, engaging workshops that connect creativity and technology.
