THE SHORT VERSION

Jamie
Summers.

BORN IN THE 70s / BASED IN MANCHESTER

As a teenager I made kaftans from curtains, shoebox apartments with film-case seating and painted murals on my bedroom walls. I trained in art & design, fashion & textiles and multimedia technology.

My working life has moved through mental health occupational therapy, costume, film, interactive design, painting, screenprinting, theatre, music and, since 2015, yoga and mindful movement. This site keeps some of that work visible, not as a polished career narrative, but as evidence of creating, changing direction and continuing.
