Hi, I’m an Associate of Place and expert in placemaking and community engagement. I’m part of the senior leadership team and a founding employee at New Practice, working from the Glasgow studio since 2019.
My work spans built design projects, rigorous spatial strategies, and the delivery of event-based architecture. At the smaller scale, projects include delivering high street parklet structures, at the bigger scale leading the delivery of a 1.5 hectare meanwhile-use public space on behalf of City of Edinburgh Council. The provision of community spaces and public realm - in both permanent and temporary settings - are typologies that my work often covers.
With a particular focus on Scotland, I work with the directors to support business development, regularly contributing in a leading role to public and private sector bids and procurement processes internally within the practice and externally as part of complex design teams.
Outside of work, I teach at Glasgow School of Art. I also sit on the Board at Impact Arts, a national charity with the remit to transform lives through participation in creative activities.
