ABOUT me
Art & design have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the day I learn how to hold a crayon I have never stopped drawing!
2025 marks 15 years of experience for me in the world of professional design. Since I finished my design masters in 2010, I have designed in and for a large variety of sectors. From my beginnings in interior design & architecture, through oil & gas, software development, web design, charity organisations, and a variety of small & medium businesses around Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire.
Most recently this has included two local authors, who have allowed me the amazing experience of illustrating 3 children's books!
​
I am a creative by nature and nurture, growing up with two very artistic and talented parents who encouraged and taught me so much along the way. I love all types of design, but my greatest strengths lie in logo design and branding. I find it incredibly satisfying to bring a professional and cohesive image to someone's business, and seeing how this helps them to thrive in their marketing efforts.
When I'm not working in my peaceful garden office, I'm a busy wife and mum of 2 gorgeous little girls and one crazy spaniel. I love spending time outdoors in nature, with our crazy bunch of friends, or serving at my local church.
