Who’s this daftie wi’ the camera?
Ah’m a multi-talented designer and photographer who’s kicked aboot nine countries like they’re ma local pubs. From branding tae street snaps, I live for that sweet spot where creativity collides wi’ culture. These days, I’m pourin’ ma love for bold, eye-catchin’ style into buildin’ UMI Socks ‘cause even the wee things (like yer feet) deserve somethin’ class. When I’m no’ cookin’ up designs, I’m either schemin’ ma next adventure or ramblin’ aboot ma travels online. Stick aroond, it’s a ride!
From Grief to Global
My Journey
What These Experiences Taught Me!
What These Experiences Taught Me!
After losing my mum in 1997 and surviving college twice! I set off to find where I truly belonged. Over 23 years, I’ve called nine countries home: from the fjords of Norway to the sun of Spain, with plenty of adventures (and misadventures) in between.

What These Experiences Taught Me!
From designing campaigns in London to shooting portraits in Tokyo, my work is a mashup of disciplines and places. Living abroad taught me to see design as a universal language, one I now use to craft stories for brands, photos, and now, socks with a purpose.

Why did I start this blog?
I launched this blog to share what I've learned with fellow wanderers. Whether it's travel tips, cultural quirks, or just good stories, I believe we all grow when we swap experiences. So pull up a chair let's learn from each other!
UMI Socks™ Where Bold Steps Begin
Odds get the Nod!
UMI Socks began as one of five sketchbook dreams, now it's 900+ designs across 40+ collections, and we're just getting started! (Trademark secured, manufacturing coming soon!)
Our vision? Turn everyday socks into celebrations of colour and culture. Because why should 'odd socks' be odd? Life's too short for boring feet our designs are for the bold, the brave, and the gloriously curious!
Help this one-man-band
Lend a hand to this solo sock pioneer (aye, I do the lot!) as we knit UMI's bright future. From design desk to delivery van, every wee donation helps thread the needle toward production. Fancy backing bolder feet worldwide? Even a fiver stitches us closer!
