My background is architectural, graduating from the Mackintosh School of Architecture in 2004 before venturing into professional practice for several years. 

In 2009 I stepped back from architecture to indulge my passions for tangible hands-on design, entrepreneurship, and craft; co-founding Method Studio; a design studio and artisan workshop based in Linlithgow which counts Burberry, Hermes, Aesop and Bentley among its clients.

I continue to act as senior designer for Method Studio while gleefully lecturing with Shanghai International College of Fashion and Innovation, a joint institute with Edinburgh college of Art.
