Hello!
I'm Conor, a designer from Scotland and a recent graduate of the Master of European Design programme—a five-year integrated course offering the opportunity to study at three leading design institutions across Europe: the Glasgow School of Art, ENSCI in Paris, and Politecnico di Milano.
As a multidisciplinary designer with an engineering background, I take a practical, hands-on approach to design. I’m particularly passionate about biomaterials and have explored Scotland’s natural resources, especially Scottish kelp—an abundant and versatile material. Working with kelp, I’ve crafted seaweed-based leather textiles and developed a biocomposite for an eco-friendly kelp coffin, discovering how biomaterials can drive innovative, sustainable design. With the design field shifting towards circularity, I’m inspired by nature’s cycles, Indigenous knowledge, and the possibilities of emerging technology. My goal is to create work that respects and renews our environment whilst making the most of modern ingenuity.
If you’re interested in collaborating on a project, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
