Calum MacLeod
a storm-battered town on the Outer Hebrides, Scotland
Raised amid the salt spray and howling winds of the Outer Hebrides, Calum found solace in machines from a young age. Educated by elders who spoke in a blend of Scots Gaelic, he developed an affinity for words that carried history. Tinkering with elevators, he learned that precision held the power to safeguard his community.
