My name is Bridget and I am a designer and maker from Scotland. I am a recent product design graduate with practical experience in prototyping, workshop operations and creative direction.
My work is driven by research, collaboration and stories, brought to life through a range of creative material and making exploration.
I create with the goal of sparking conversations, challenging perspectives and inspiring change- always with intention at the heart of my process.
My design process embraces experimentation and playfulness, trusting that unexpected discoveries lead to innovation deeper creative expression.
