Lizzie

I believe that life needs more whimsy. I'm a lifelong storyteller, fascinated by wild spaces, quirky characters and all things colourful. My work at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo is a constant source of joy and inspiration; I'll never tire of the view of penguins from my office window.

While my style is playful, it is backed by over 15 years of technical wizardy. I plant tiny seeds of wonder across the digital landscape, tinkering in web development, graphic design and public engagement.

On peaceful days, I can be found exploring the beautiful beaches of Scotland with my puppy Beinn. I am a daydreamer and a doodler, forever looking for hidden magic in everyday things.

Head in the clouds

Part of the 2022 Giraffe About Town public art trail across Edinburgh, Head in the Clouds is a fantasy world of cosy skyship adventures and space exploration, inhabited by a magical array of animal folk. She was sold at auction at the end of the trail to raise much needed funds for wildlife conservation.

iCARE

During my work with the Peninsula School of Medicine and Dentistry, I created a series of illustrations for an app to familiarise the people of rural Sierra Leone and Liberia with medical professionals to help tackle the Ebola crisis.

Little Lizzie

Over the course of four different web portfolio designs, my Little Lizzie character has been a constant; my outlet for my love of character design and mischief, dressing her and her pals up for all different seasons and occasions!
