David Lemm is an interdisciplinary artist based in Edinburgh. He was appointed Lecturer in Graphic Design at ECA in 2023. Having studied Animation at Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee, he began his career working across animation, illustration and graphic design. Building on these experiences, his experimental approach evolved through a broad range of commissions, research projects and residencies.

David’s practice-based research is often led by phenomenological encounters with landscape and material investigation, reimagined as prompts for visual storytelling and graphic form. 

He works across printmaking, drawing, collage, publications and sculptural assemblage.
