About

I'm a Cognitive Science student at the University of Edinburgh, on a First Class track and heading into my final year.

My degree is deliberately multidisciplinary — psychology, philosophy, linguistics, informatics — because I wanted the tools to decode diverse perspectives and turn them into ways to communicate and lead teams of very different skill sets. As President of 180 Degrees Consulting Edinburgh, that is exactly what I do: leading an executive board of 18 and the work of 70+ consultants each semester.

Right now I'm putting that into practice as a founder — building Mysq, a sustainable beauty-tech brand — and writing on responsible AI and the environmental cost of its growth.

What I do
Build

I lead and ship.

President of 180 Degrees Consulting Edinburgh; founder of Mysq, a sustainable makeup-tech product I am currently designing and building.

Think

I write on the hard questions in technology.

How AI can be governed ethically, and how its growth can be kept from becoming an environmental cost.

Translate

I make complex ideas land.

A multidisciplinary degree taught me to decode diverse perspectives — for consultants, for linguists on TikTok, for 800+ servicemen, for any audience.
