About me

I’m a User Researcher based in Glasgow. I do freelance work for companies looking to learn more deeply about their customers or who need to embed user-centred practice into their organisation. Here are a few things to help you get to know me:

I have two dogs

Noodle and Roo. Noodle is a 9 year old dachshund and Roo is a 4 year old Romanian street dog/ domesticated Tasmanian devil.

I have three cats

All rescues. Midnight (brown), Tormund (orange) and Brienne (grey).

My superpower is interviewing...

Specifically, interviewing in a way that doesn’t feel like an interview. I view my job as learning people’s stories by having a lovely chat.

I’m a hard-core empath

Great for User-centred Design, rubbish for watching SuperVet…

I've officiated a wedding ceremony

During the pandemic, I completed training with Humanists UK to be a wedding celebrant in England. I gave this up when I moved to Scotland shortly after completing my training.

I'm a non-linear & associative thinker

This means I make a lot of connections between things others may not see or notice, which goes someway to explaining my love of qualitative research.

I'm an environmentalist

I care passionately about the environment (which is what lead me to work at OVO!). As a household we're constantly introducing new initiative to help us save energy and reduce waste

I'm a Scotland import

I'm born to Scottish parents but was born and raised in Buckinghamshire. I followed my calling and came to Scotland in 2021 and I can't imagine ever wanting to leave.

I love to create

While I'm not a designer I'm very creative. I channel this through design thinking (and the odd workshop sketch!) in the office, but leave creating for my personal time. I'm particularly keen on crochet!

I'm a student

From September 2023, hopefully ending June 2025, I'm studying an MSc (conversion) in Psychology through the Open University. I request max 30h week contracts or the option to compress work hours, so that I have at least one working day a week for my studies.
