Huge thanks to Dan Armstrong at @officialqosfc for the kind words.
Working with the Doonhamers since May 2024 has been massively rewarding. A great club with even better people. 👏

🎬 | 2025
And that’s nearly a wrap on 2025!
Struggling to put into words just how good the year has been from a business standpoint as well as personally, but I’ll try and give it a go!
I know how lucky I’ve been to stay as busy as I have over the last 12 months. The work has taken me all over. From Aberdeen to Portugal, and from Manchester to St Andrews, with each job bringing something different.
Talking Parrot Creative continues to grow and change, largely thanks to the experience I’ve gained since launching. 2025 has given me a real push to keep building on that, and to make sure 2026 is even better.
A genuine thank you to everyone I’ve worked with this year, with special mention to @stealthcompetitions_ltd, @cairndalehotelspa, @officialqosfc, and @zackbedford_pga for the trust and the opportunities to work on things I honestly wouldn’t have imagined a few years ago.
To my family, friends, and the amazing Catherine Sharp, thank you for the support, patience, and constant encouragement, especially during the chaos.
And finally, thank you to everyone who’s supported the business throughout 2025. I know I’ve not been as active on my own channel as I would’ve like to have been, but that’s something I’m keen to improve in the new year, along with sharing a bit more of what goes on behind the scenes.
Wishing everyone all the best for 2026.

🏆 | Big Win
I’m delighted to announce that Talking Parrot Creative has partnered with @stealthcompetitions_ltd as their official videographer, graphic designer and Facebook ads manager.
I’ve had the good fortune of working alongside Stealth since February, and we’ve already delivered a number of exciting projects together. Partnering with a company of Stealth’s calibre is a major milestone for the business, and I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead.
This partnership marks an important step forward, and I’m looking forward to building a strong relationship with Stealth into the future.
🖼️ | The Season
I set myself a goal before the @officialqosfc season got underway that I’d create a unique graphic for each fixture.
47 matches later, including 4 in pre-season, 4 in the Premier Sports League Cup, 1 in the SPFL Trust Trophy, 2 in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup, and 36 (plus an extra graphic following a postponement) in William Hill League 1 and it’s complete - just about.
The Doonhamers will now head to the play-offs, so there will be at least 2 to go, but here’s hoping for 4 🤞

Reflecting on a brilliant trip away to Vilamoura with @zackbedford_pga for what we get to call work 🎥🏌️♂️
A huge thank you to Zack for having me along to film and photograph his immense golfing talent. It was a pleasure to spend time with him and the team he coaches at West Surrey Golf Club, enjoying a few sunny days in Portugal’s warm winter climate☀️
