Celtic Raven
Eclectic, creative, diverse.
Bringing together an eclectic and diverse set of skills and interests from learning technology, education, photography to graphics design. Celtic Raven is the home site of Kit Logan, a learning technologist, published academic and freelance photographer.
Celtic Raven is now the umbrella under which my professional services operates, as well as explore and take advantage of the rich connections with a long-standing involvement in youth work and experiments in garden design.

Experienced learning technologist and established academic researcher, currently working as a Learning Technology Fellow at the UCL Institute of Education since 2004 and a learning technology consultancy.
I’ve been researching the use of educational technology since 1999 for my PhD. Exploring how users interacted with technology in educational settings. I’ve continued working in this field, appreciating the role technology can play in helping with teaching and learning, and how to support accessibility and inclusion.

I discovered photography in my teens. Drawn to the power in images that tell a story, evoke emotions, or simply recall past moments. I love how photography is both an art and a science, balancing creativity with the technical skill needed to bring a vision to life.
My professional work focuses primarily on family portraits as well as event photography, from weddings and family gatherings to conferences and VIP visits.
Photography is also very much part of my private life, keeping a balance between being involved in everyday family moments and stepping-away to observe and capture moments.
The effects that childhood experiences have on us growing up and often throughout our adult lives cannot be understated.
I’m not sure if I found youthwork or it found me, but I’ve been actively involved in youthwork since my teens, both paid and voluntary work. I always found working with children and young people very rewarding and nowadays I actively support any interest in STEM. But above all, for me, youthwork is about creating spaces where children can be themselves—where they are allowed and encouraged to explore, learn, and grow.
“Gardens are there to be enjoyed and interacted with.”
I’ve been fascinated by plants from childhood, but it’s become a wider appreciation of the design of garden spaces, particularly those that incorporate places for play and encourage exploration not just being pockets of tranquility and of interest to gardeners. It’s not just about the plants, but how adults and children interact with them.
It’s not just theory, it’s something I’ve been experimenting with in my own garden. Effectively what can be done on a small budget and in a small 8x33m space. Seeing what works and does not work, the successes and failures. It’s as much understanding your garden space, as what can be created.
