I'm a poster-loving, puzzle-solving creative. Helping my clients look fabulous with finely crafted graphics and illustrations.

That's all you really need to know just now. But if you insist...

I started out, over 14 years ago, in the days of dial up modems. But as internet speeds grew, I steadily worked my way up, embracing failures and blushing at successes, to become a robust Designer with a distinctive style.

I worked as Senior Graphic Designer at Glasgow Science Centre, and delivered the branding for their £1.6milion 'Powering the Future' exhibition.

Now I am working independently, in the stunning surroundings of the Western Isles of Scotland. I can provide high level creative solutions for your next project. Large or small, all work gets a commitment to craft and creativity.

I welcome back Mental Health Counsellor Hereward Proops (actual name) back in for a chat. We discuss ways to combat the depressive nature of these dark Winter days. We also unapologetically play music that makes us happy. (Then we go and kind of ruin it all by play the extreme Metal of Dragonforce)

#tbt Shifting things around in my portfolio and realising I need to shelve all the work I’ve done for the fine folk @glasgowsciencecentre. So, forgive me for getting a bit whistful about the whirlwind couple of years as the in-house GD.... Learned so much with the loveliest team. I got a first hand view of the staggering amount of work that goes into optimising the balance between entertainment and education. I miss not having it on my doorstep. A credit to the city.

‘LUCK’

A horrendously belated entry for the recent round of @_posterproject 😬... Inspired by/borrowed/stole the collaged style of recent #InstaFind @sophie_devere. Her work for @whiplashbeer is fook’n luurvely. Go give her some love.

Oh, and thanks to @sueomurph for modelling the bird leavings

A trawl through some of the best found sound on @soundcloud interspersed with readings of Emily Dickinson poetry. Which keeps 2 of my resolutions for 2019:

1. Read more poetry

2. Be more pretentious 
Dickinson it up here: Mixcloud.com/night_call

Yep. An hour of cover versions of the ‘Enter Sandman’ by @metallica ... Bit of an endurance test for the lugs. There is some Indian Bhangra and Edith Piaf as oases in the Enter Sandman desert... If your up for it, let’s go off to Never Never Land: Mixcloud.com/night_call
