I've worked in the Film & TV Industry for the last 7 years after graduating from Edinburgh Napier University & Screen Academy Scotland with a BA Honours Degree in Photography & Film (2011-2015). I mostly work in Glasgow, Edinburgh & Stirling and have also worked in London and abroad (The Netherlands, Spain & China). I currently live in Dunfermline, Fife with bases in Glasgow.
