About Me
Where analytical thinking meets creative expression - balancing operational excellence with musical artistry and personal passions.
My Story
Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, and now based in Berlin, I'm someone who believes that the best solutions come from thinking both analytically and creatively. By day, I'm deep in operations management - optimizing processes, automating workflows, and solving complex business challenges. My UX Design qualification from CareerFoundry perfectly complements my operations background, bringing user-centered thinking to process optimization and applying design research methods to understand stakeholder needs and pain points.
As a member of Blaschko Alley, I collaborate on music that explores the intersection between structured thinking and artistic expression. The same attention to detail that helps me streamline business operations also shapes how I approach composition and sound design within the band.
At home, I'm a devoted parent to Csipke, my Mudi (they're incredible dogs!) and the supportive partner of a talented photographer. These different aspects of my life aren't separate - they inform and enhance each other in ways that make me a more effective operations professional and creative.

Works with analogue cameras and B&W film, creating abstract still lifes that reveal hidden worlds through the interplay of light and shadow
