About me
More than the portfolio.
Fife-born and based in Dunfermline — I'm a web designer and developer, Scout leader, bagpiper and co-founder. This page is the longer story behind the portfolio.
Roots
Dunfermline, Fife-born.
I grew up in Dunfermline and still call it home. That local grounding shows up in the work I take on — Scout groups, clubs and charities across Fife — and in how I talk to clients: practical, clear, no agency theatre.
Education
From Queen Anne to Napier.

Work & community
Disney, Tesco & Bundle Group.
Walt Disney World® Resort
A summer as a Guest Services & Custodial Cast Member at Disney Springs, covering shifts at the Magic Kingdom — guest-facing polish under real pressure.
Tesco Stores Ltd
Many years across departments — starting on Dotcom at 16, then Mobile and Customer Services. Took part in an immersion event at head office, and appeared in local news and media raising money for charity through Christmas events, handing cheques with Mandy (our Community Champion) to organisations like Maggie's Fife.
Bundle Group Ltd
I co-own Bundle Group with friends. We design and run large-scale charity events in Minecraft that have raised thousands of dollars for causes including Extra Life and Give Kids The World Village.
Scouting
Still in the movement.
Scouting has been part of my life since childhood — now it includes digital leadership, outdoor instruction and international service.
- Scout since I was little — now IT & Digital Lead for Dunfermline District Scouts.
- Representing the UK in Poland as an IST (International Service Team) in 2027.
- Active Support at Fordell Firs — teaching high ropes, low ropes and related activities.
- Assistant Section Leader at the 44th for both Squirrels and Scouts.
- Trustee at Dunfermline District Scouts.
Also · bagpipes
Websites by day. Pipes by request.
Same person who ships websites also straps on a set of pipes. I've played weddings, competed at events, and generally proven that 'quiet Scottish chap' is a temporary setting. If your day needs a tune that can be heard from the next postcode — ceremony, ceilidh, or anything gloriously over the top — I'm open to bookings.
