Constructed image maker, photographer and videographer, looking to pursue a career in either photography, or the curatorial sector. I am an attentive learner, a detail oriented and organised worker, and a considerate and adaptable collaborator: I lead Communication Design's curatorial team at The Glasgow School of Art this year, putting on two shows including degree show, and writing each show's opening statement. My photographic skills, academic practice, and high standard of working lead to being nominated for the Newbery medal, a prestigious award given to the top graduating student.
I have graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in BA(Hons) Communication Design with a First Class Degree.

- Daughter CellsFormed from questionnaires sent to mothers and their daughters, this moving image piece visualises the conventions of maternity and femininity, and their building conflict; heightened by the mother daughter relationship.
