I am a Research Associate at Rural Lab based in the GSA Highlands and Islands campus in Forres. Since completing my M.Des at GSA, I have a growing interest in participatory research for craft, care and social innovation. In 2024, I worked at DHI, where I contributed to the social care portfolio of DHI and explored the significance of “care” in the health and wellbeing of all. From 2025, I have worked at GSA Rural Lab, where my research explores "care" from the perspective of craft, heritage and environment, through the medium of traditional craft practices of Scotland.
