A little bit about me..
I am a Digital/IT Project & Programme Manager and Business Change consultant whose career uniquely spans both creative and corporate fields.
My start was a little unusual in that I began in broadcast production and post-production, earning credits in commercials, documentaries, and feature films.
My passion for film sound design led me to found Brilliant Dog Audio, where I worked on a range of projects, including a Scottish BAFTA-winning production, BBC, ITV, Sky and C4 productions and many independents.
My broadcast career built a deep understanding of technical audio engineering, location sound, and post-production, but really it taught me about team work and supporting and developing a creative vision from a technical standpoint.
What I do.
A personal life change* saw me pivot into the corporate sphere namely, digital transformation and IT project management.
Leading complex, user-centered projects in both private and public sectors, I specialised in Agile and Waterfall methodologies, strategic digital operating models, and systems integration. My corporate roles have spanned software product development, IT infrastructure upgrades, and comprehensive business change initiatives, with a focus on delivering structured and scalable solutions.
In addition to my corporate work, My wife and I co-founded The Orry Mill, a yarn store and online hand-knitting business.
Together, we have built The Orry Mill into a thriving business that combines shared passion for crafting with community engagement.
We are now about to launch Orry Yarn our own brand of hand knitting yarn, patterns and an online learning platform that has a range of video courses to help you learn to knit.
