She has worked as an independent writer, researcher, and designer, and is a co-founder and co Director of Glasgow Women’s Library. Her relationship with the world of creation, archiving, and collaboration with readers and writers spans from the pre-digital era.

Drawing from her extensive experience of collaborative and cross-disciplinary work with writers, designers, architects, and other creatives, she will discuss her contributions to and co-designing of publications; this includes a wide spectrum, from artists' books to academic journals, from zines to manifestos, all while exploring the enduring drive to publish.
