Community Fun
Creativity has always been about bringing people together.
For many years I've been involved in community projects that have encouraged creativity, play, tourism and local pride. From helping build a community play park and organising events to creating costumes, characters and public art, these projects have always been about making a positive difference.
This section shares the stories behind those ideas, the people I've met along the way and the lessons I've learned while helping bring creative projects to life.
I hope they inspire others to believe that one idea really can make a difference.

ROTHESAY PAVILION
The Rothesay Pavilion has been one of the most inspiring community projects I've had the privilege to be part of.
During my time as a Trustee, I supported the vision of restoring one of Scotland's most iconic Art Deco buildings and helping shape its future as a vibrant cultural and community space.
Throughout my involvement, I worked to encourage community engagement, support local participation and promote the idea that the Pavilion should be a welcoming, creative space that belongs to everyone.
My contribution has always been rooted in giving people a voice, encouraging collaboration and helping ensure that the community remained at the heart of the project's vision.
Awards & Recognition
Every award tells part of the journey.
I'm incredibly grateful to have received recognition for my work over the years. Each award, nomination and achievement reflects the creativity, dedication and community projects I've been fortunate to be part of.
While awards are never the reason I create, they remind me that hard work, perseverance and believing in your ideas can make a real difference.
Creative Mentoring
Helping creative people turn ideas into reality.
Over the years I've built brands, developed products, launched community projects and learned what it really takes to turn creative ideas into something people connect with.
Creative mentoring is my opportunity to share that experience with artists, makers, designers, entrepreneurs and anyone looking to develop a creative project or business.
Whether you're just starting out or looking for a fresh perspective, I can help you organise your ideas, develop your brand, solve creative challenges and move your project forward with confidence.
Alongside one-to-one mentoring, I'll also be sharing free worksheets, practical guides and honest advice to help more creative people build ideas they truly believe in.
Create • Inspire • Grow
Creative Solutions
Bringing ideas to life through design.
Every project begins with a conversation.
Whether you're starting a new business, promoting an event, refreshing your brand or simply looking for a creative idea, I can help turn your vision into something eye-catching, practical and memorable.
Over the years I've designed everything from logos, branding and websites to posters, packaging, merchandise, marketing campaigns and social media graphics. My approach is always the same—listen first, create second, making sure every design reflects the personality and purpose behind it.
If you have an idea, let's explore it together.
