Biography
I am a Research Associate at Rural Lab based in the GSA Highlands and Islands campus in Forres. Since completing my M.Des at GSA, I have a growing interest in participatory research for craft, care and social innovation.
In 2024, I worked at DHI, where I contributed to the social care portfolio of DHI and explored the significance of “care” in the health and wellbeing of all. From 2025, I have worked at GSA Rural Lab, where my research explores "care" from the perspective of craft, heritage and environment, through the medium of traditional craft practices of Scotland.
Research Interests
Place-based design, Social innovation, Craft, Care & Wellbeing, Rural life
Teaching
I have recently completed my Associate Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). I sometimes support the students of the M. Des program in Forres based on my experience as a GSA Forres alumni.
