SIMPLE.

Honest work that holds its value.

About

21+
Years of Experience

Simple design. Honest work that holds its ground.

I'm a graphic designer with 21 years of experience delivering solid work across a wide range of departments and publications for Newsquest Scotland — including The Herald, Glasgow Times, and The Scottish Farmer. My job is straightforward: I take a rough idea and build it into a striking piece of design that makes sense.

Over two decades, I've grown my trade from traditional print layout into video, motion, and animation. No fuss, honest communication, and getting the job done right the first time.

How I Work

My Process

01
Understand the Job

Every project starts with getting the full story. I take the time to learn your crowd, your history, and your competition before making a single mark.

02
Test the Ideas

I explore a wide range of options before narrowing anything down. The first or second idea is rarely the right one, so I put in the work to find what actually fits.

03
Craft & Refine

Spacing, weight, clean lines, and details. The difference between a rushed job and a great piece of work lives entirely in these final adjustments.

04
Finish It Right

Handing over a design without a proper system means it won't last. I organize and document everything so your brand continues to hold its value down the line.
