I am a designer with a drive to make socially and environmentally conscious work. This translates into all of my graphic design, which primarily takes the form of printed matter, film and interactive design. I take inspiration from the world around me, often responding to local as well as global issues. Drawing on concept-led briefs, research plays a strong part of my practice, engaging with archives, design history and current affairs.
My largest project this year takes the form of an immersive exhibition which explores Scotland’s diminishing temperate rainforests. This environment is at risk to a range of factors, including the climate crisis, but is essential to Scotland’s eco-system with home to over 17,000 plant species. Using a variety of processes, such as film, 3D modelling and photography, I have sculpted a VR interactive exhibition, allowing the user to explore this fascinating habitat.
This year I have also written a dissertation titled: Community, Sustainability and Design: Towards a Greener Glasgow, which inspects the role of Community Based Organisations within the city. I have then turned this into an editorial publication, inspecting binding methods, layout and fine details, basing decisions upon my primary research into Glasgow’s communities.
