My Work
09/2025I’m a designer who primarily practices through video, photo and graphics. My work is usually rooted in observation, conservation and material expermentation. During my degree I often brought together photography, video interviews and handmade publications to explore how places, objects and archives carry personal and collective memory.
Recent projects have included films made from journeys through Scotland and Ireland, blending diaristic narration with interview and archive footage; collaborative publications tracing object biographies through contemporary archeology; and hand bound photobooks documenting transient landscapes seen from bus windows.
I’m drawn to the often overlooked, the everyday and the in-between – how small stories can reveal wider patterns of belonging, migration and identity. Whether working independently or in collaboration, my aim is to explore narratives through many different lenses.

In-Use is a collaborative project exploring Scottish object biographies through documentary storytelling. For this project I worked closely with Graphic Designer Megan Waterston. I focused on how everyday objects reveal layered histories, from their making and circulation to the personal and cultural meanings they gather over time.
The project combines still photography, video interviews and editorial design to document these narratives. We approached the work as both filmmakers and editors, shaping interviews and field recordings into a publication that sits between archive and essay. Our process was grounded in careful listening and observation: recording conversations, photographing objects in context and mapping connections between material culture and lived experience.

Doo Flying
Pigeon keeping and community in Glasgow
Pigeon keeping and community in Glasgow
The Dookit is a pigeon supply shop in Glasgow’s East End, run by Alan Ingram. Part retail, part meeting space, it functions as a social hub for a small but tightly connected group of fanciers. Many visit weekly for feed, medication, and conversation — keeping the shop alive as much as it keeps the birds alive.
Braemar
Voluntary rescue in the Cairngorms
Voluntary rescue in the Cairngorms
The Braemar team has operated since 1965, responding to emergencies across one of the UK’s most remote landscapes. Entirely volunteer-run, the group trains year-round to handle avalanche risk, difficult terrain, and night navigation. This section follows their training and kit — the systems behind the scenes that keep them operational.
Handba’
An annual game played through the town
An annual game played through the town
In Jedburgh, the streets become a pitch each February as locals take part in the centuries-old game of handba’. The ball, handmade and hand-painted, passes through generations of players. This object sits at the centre of a day-long event shaped by tradition, memory, and collective motion.
