About me
I’m a multi-disciplined Graphic Designer and Art Director, originally from Scotland now based in London with more than 12 years international experience covering the UK, Middle East and Australia. Specialties encompass graphic design, branding, communication and advertising campaigns, magazine and brochure layout and digital design.
I’ve worked with some great brands along the way such as Nike, Royal Mail, Gatwick Airport, Barratt London, Damien Hirst, Post Office, Qatar Museums Authority, the United Nations, Four Seasons, Nandos and Qatari Diar.
I’m a believer in keeping it simple, meticulous detail, and good old fashioned hard work. I’m always up for a challenge, I love what I do and I’m down to earth.
