I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland where I have spent most of my life. I attended high school at The Edinburgh Academy, college at Edinburgh's Telford College and studied for my masters at the University of Edinburgh. Sandwiched between my time in my Edinburgh was 3 years in Glasgow at the University of Strathclyde (1st, 2nd and 4th Year) and 1 year in Southern California at California State Polytechnic University Pomona (3rd Year).

Since graduating with a Masters Degree in Design and Digital Media from the University of Edinburgh, I have been fortunate to work in a number of roles that have allowed me to express my design instincts. I gained valuable design for print experience at Almond Publishing where I helped produce 4 magazines by creating adverts and designing page layouts, and then while working in a retail position at Advanced MP3 Players I got the chance to design their Point of Sale. Most recently I was working at a Printing.Com franchise selling and designing their wide range of products. Throughout this period I have also worked as freelance designer on a number of projects that has further allowed my to express my love for design.

Towards the end of June 2010 I will be heading to Vancouver on a working visa from BUNAC where I will look to continue to grow in creativity and knowledge, excel in design software applications, interact and share with group members, colleagues and clients, develop exceptional solutions for real world challenges.
