A published author, musician, award winning artist and performer, Gill’s appreciation and gratitude for life is present throughout all her creative works.

Gill is a powerful and thought provoking communicator, challenging us to think deeply about the relationship we have with the world around us, with each other and importantly hold with ourselves.

Her vital work, particularly in countering violent extremism, became her focus after she was left severely and permanently injured from the actions of a suicide bomber in the co-ordinated terrorist attack on London’s transport network in July, 2005. 

Prior to the bombings, Gill was a respected figure within the fields of Architecture, Design and the Arts in London.  As Publisher of Blueprint, the contemporary culture magazine, she established herself within the world renown British design scene. She later went on to be Founding Director of The Dangerous Minds Design consultancy and then Head Curator at the Design Council.

‘Designing a sustainable peace’ has become the core focus to Gill’s body of work. Under the acronym for Making a Difference ‘M.A.D.’, Gill has founded both a ‘think’ and ‘do’ tank, M.A.D. Minds, and a creative, collaborative agency, Music Art Discussion, where she brings performance and visual art together to communicate beyond spoken word.
