About
I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a foundation in interior architecture and nearly six years of experience transforming old buildings and creating immersive hospitality spaces. My professional background focuses on reimagining the built environment, especially spaces that carry a strong sense of history and narrative.
My interest in how design connects with people, services, and business led me to pursue a Master’s in Service Design. At the heart of my practice is a desire to explore the connections within our world through design across disciplines, spaces, and experiences.
The Slow Travellers Society promotes meaningful, sustainable travel across Scotland. Centered on slow journeys by rail, foot, and bike, the program encourages deep connection with local culture, nature, and communities. Travellers are invited to become temporary locals—supporting small businesses, preserving heritage, and engaging with people and place. Through curated routes and community partnerships, the initiative redefines travel as a culturally enriching experience where the journey is as valuable as the destination.
