About

I enjoy thinking about, writing about, and playing with my food.

I’m not just a messy eater — I believe that finding fun ways to ‘play with food’, or with our perceptions of it, is a great way to explore the complex nuances of what we eat and how it connects to culture, the environment, and our global food system.

I studied design and cabinet-making at Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy and was awarded the Haldane UK Design Scholarship in 2007. My passion for craft and design soon expanded to include food, and in September 2018, I completed an MSc in Gastronomy with Distinction.

Experience Design, education and events

From mobile bike kitchens to themed film nights, I’ve planned and run a wide variety of events centred around food, culture, and the environment.

I take a holistic approach to Food Design, creating meaningful experiences that help people reconnect and engage with food, sourcing locally and sustainably wherever I can.

If you’d like to collaborate or have a bespoke event designed, I’d love to hear from you.
