I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. My family moved to Chichester on the south coast of England where I spent my childhood.
After finishing school I moved to Kent to study graphic design at university, continuing to live in Kent after graduating. I began work in the creative industry before working freelance
. I have a love for beautiful, highly-functional design and currently work across product, UX/UI and graphic design.
My work specialises around organisational health. I have worked in education, working with higher educational institutions to develop their tools and platforms. I also share my experience through teaching design, building design curricula and leading instructional teams. Head over to my
curriculum vitae for more details.
Growing up I went to Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, which had a big influence on my love of the outdoors. I received the Downsman award before moving on to the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, completing Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. I care about nature, wildlife conservation and enjoy regular camping trips with friends.
Travel, as with most people, is important to me, particularly exploring European cities and historical sites. As a child my family had a house in Provence and I continue to travel to France as often as I can. I spend a decent part of each year in Paris and have been learning the language for a while. I am taking the WSET badges to have a better idea of what I'm doing when I bring back a load of wine.
Growing up I wanted to be a chef and dreamed of opening a tiny restaurant one day, for now I am continuing to learn to cook for fun. I work a day a week as a chef at a Michelin green starred farm restaurant and
ragazzi is my own pasta pop-up.
At home in the UK, you'll find me with family and friends or in the outdoors.
