History
Mairghread McLundie is a researcher at the Digital Design Studio, Glasgow School of Art. She graduated from Glasgow University in 1983 with a degree in Computing Science. Following ten years working in computer facilities management for a firm of consulting engineers, she enrolled at Glasgow School of Art, graduating with a degree in Design (Silversmithing and Jewellery) in 1997. An interest in the relative absence of computer systems in the applied arts formed the basis of study for a one year masters degree, titled "An Investigation into Interaction with Computer Systems for 3D Design and Modelling, in Terms of Interface and Process". Her recently completed Ph.D. research focused on the relationship between individual designers and the artefacts and media they work with in their design processes, and how differences in this relationship might inform the development of future digital environments for creative practice.
