Looking to get to know me? Well here we go - I see myself as a person who brings positive change to people’s lives mainly through engagement with the design process. I like to encourage constructive discontent as a way of improving and changing the status quo. I have a variety of experiences that I’m grateful to have had and that I look to share my learnings from with others:

From 2014 to 2018 I was a National Youth Arts Advisor for the Scottish Government (delivered through Creative Scotland) on the Time To Shine Strategy, a strategy to encourage engagement and participation from all young people in Scotland in the arts more...

I studied Interior Environmental Design at the University of Dundee from 2015 to 2019 where I graduated with a 2:1 BDes (Hons). During this time I attended international universities in China and Malaysia and spent a semester abroad in Belgium studying Interior & Service Design at Thomas More Hogeschool more...

Between 2017 & 2019 I was one of the lead organisers of the Dundee Service Jam, a regional participant of the Global Service Jam which is a network of over 100 cities collaborating over a weekend learning and applying service design and design thinking methodologies more...

In 2018 I worked as a Research Fellow for the British Council at the 16th International Venice Architecture Biennale in the British Pavilion more...

Since Aug 2019 I’ve been employed as a Interior Designer at c2:concepts where we focus on delivering considered and creative workspaces on a range of scales for a vast variety of clients more...

As someone who comes from a working class background I think it’s important that design is made more accessible and the elitist connotations of “designer” (that act as a barrier) are broken down. I see design as something everyone can (and should) be involved in Where possible I love to engage directly with the people I’m designing with/for. I believe this is an integral part of developing the best possible solution that will have the greatest impact and is a great way of educating people on the design process and helping them to appreciate their own value in a project.
