I began my bookbinding journey in 2013 in Glasgow, training under the expert guidance of John Allison. After a decade working in trade binderies and specialising in book restoration, I founded The Book Minder in 2023.

Years of studying book structures, from fine bindings to simple pamphlets, have shaped the way I design new work. My restoration background now guides every decision, from materials to construction, ensuring each book is both beautiful and built to last. Every binding I create is rooted in traditional methods, bringing the best of the past into the modern book.

Each book tells a story - and creating the binding that houses that unique tale has become mine.
