I was born in Scotland and grew up in California, an experience that gave me an international perspective on life. I returned to Scotland in 1992 and after completing my Foundation Studies at Newcastle College of Art, I earned a BA (Hons) Marketing with Film and Media from Stirling University.

I have 11 years experience in planning and delivering business critical digital and offline marketing campaigns for leading UK retail banks. As a marketer, I strongly believe in the benefits of a customer-orientated approach; developing products or services that solve a defined customer need and then communicating the solution appropriately.

After earning an MA Graphic Design from London College of Communication, I set up my signature studio GB Design. In parallel with my marketing career, I’ve worked with SME and non-profit clients as a freelance graphic designer and brand consultant. I’ve developed brand strategies and created visual identities, brand architecture and guidelines. I have strong design skills, excellent creative judgement and experience in all aspects of design - including print, direct mail, display ads, POS, events, marketing literature and managing print production.

I'm results orientated with a proven ability of adding value to a business through my commercial acumen and creativity – lateral thought, problem solving and consumer insight. I'm driven by success and enjoy using my unique and proven skill set to help businesses acquire and retain customers.
