A Scottish creative known to dabble in both art direction and copy.
As a soon to be graduate from Edinburgh Napier's MSc in Creative Advertising I'm craving to create some big ideas for this big bad world.
Last year I won the DMA Breakthrough Award - but life isn't all advertising.
On my days off I travel around sunny Scotland talking to school kids about the effects of skin cancer.
This work landed me the Inspirational Adult Award at the Edinburgh Local Heroes.
But that's all worthless, the real bread winner is my part time job at a bagel shop.
So, if you don't have an appetite for my ads, I'm sure we can bond over a dose of dough.

Parents and siblings can struggle with the burden a cancer diagnosis brings just as much as the person going through it. Waiting rooms give Macmillan an early opportunity to speak to families currently affected by cancer. By featuring real life letter-style posters in hospital waiting rooms we can help those in need by showing parents and siblings there are others who have been in their shoe

Edinburgh Local Hero Awards - Inspirational Young AdultEdinburgh Evening News
Working with a team to change Scottish school kids' perception of skin cancer, we travelled round the country giving talks in a bid to raise awareness of the disease among teenagers.
In the end, we spoke to over a thousand kids and changed their views on skin care awareness and their ability to take control of skin cancer.
This culminated in the work being credited in Holyrood Parliament and, somehow, some personal recognition at the Local Hero Awards.
