About

Edinburgh-based creative, with a 2:1 in Photography from Edinburgh Napier University. I’ve been working in the drinks industry since 2021 and developing my skills. I currently work at Summerhall Distillery as their Head of Creative Content, where I manage the roles of Photographer, Self-taught Graphic Designer, Product Designer, Social Media Manager and Marketing Executive. Having autonomy throughout these roles creates a unique opportunity that allows me to not only see a project from start to finish but also be involved at every stage. I just love being involved in anything creative!
