After graduating with a Degree in Illustration and Design at Edinburgh College of Art I began my career working first at Scotlands biggest community art charity as a creative assistant and tutor. I gained further experience volunteering for 3 years at my local community centre as an youth worker. Following a course of study I qualified as a youth worker and have since developed my skills as a professional artist alongside this practise. I now work freelance on a variety of different projects. I have been trusted as the lead artist on some very prestige projects with councils, non-profit organisations and instituitions across Scotland to provide social engaged public artworks . I often work with a broad range of age groups in the community. I have had the privilege of leading projects that have typically involved large scale murals that have involved partcipants that use this space.  This work has been incredibly rewarding in establishing representation and a voice for communities. I feel honoured to work alongside these groups ,to enable a sense of ownership and bring empowerment to those most vulnerable and under represented. 

I work in a mix of media and bring digital and traditional techniques into methods of creating. Whichever works best for the brief. I am confident in my ability to work to limited budgets and engage with a variety of groups on issues or topics they would like to explore through creative art. If you have a project or a group you would to engage with I am happy to discuss and share ideas. E-mail me through the contact page above.
