Hello, and thank you for checking out my work!
I am a recent graduate from Edinburgh Napier University with a zeal for design, especially if it involves motion graphics or designing brand identities. Through exploring the many avenues of Graphic Design at university, I am itching to get out there into the exciting world of design.
When I'm not designing, you can catch me in the kitchen cooking up a storm, I love all things food! I am also a keen adventurer and have a great interest in history and historical geography. I love meeting new people, immersing myself in different cultures and can speak my fair share of Italian after travelling, learning and briefly working there.
If you have any questions about my work or would like to work together on a project, feel free to fire me a message!

Held in neutral spaces, such as restaurants and cafés, local businesses that host the sessions sponsor the initiative in order to keep it running and to allow the community to challenge the stigma behind men’s mental health. In this day-and-age, it is extremely sad to see that this stigma is still so prominent. For
- Drone DiningDesigned by both Charlie Buchan & Kelsie Baird, this animation was created as part of a brief handed out to our class by Whitespace and Business Gateway. We had 15 seconds to convey how graduates should choose Business Gateway to help them in kickstarting their own business. We wanted to put a surrealistic twist on our concept by having a dream vs. reality state for our animation –where, for Business Gateway, no idea is too out there. This involved our recent graduate dreaming of his busines
