My name is Kate and I'm a fully qualified Freelance Graphic Designer from Peebles in the Scottish Borders. With 13 years of experience in Graphic Design and a BA in Event and Entertainment Management, you are in super safe hands!

When I'm not creating stationery I design for business clients. Amongst others, I've been commissioned by Amazon, The Botanic Gardens, Community Energy Scotland and The Scottish Government.

Fun Facts

I once went on Splash Mountain with Harrison Ford in Disneyland. For balance, I also spotted Michelle McManus at Glasgow Fort - she told me she had just eaten garlic. I got a photo.

I won a Blue Peter badge for drawing the local road bridge with glitter crayons for a 'Light-up Britain' competition.

I absolutely love dinosaurs and my first pet was a cat called Topsy Triceratops Pussy. Did you know we are closer in the grand scale of time to the T-Rex than the stegosaurus was?

The best day of my life was seeing hippos in the wild in South Africa. It was beautiful and I cried. I don't even especially like hippos.

The Scottish Borders

I grew up in Peebles and spent ten years away from home gaining formal qualifications and invaluable experience. From Glasgow to Hollywood, London and Edinburgh I was fortunate to land some brilliant, and fun jobs.

I returned to the Scottish Borders and went freelance in 2017. I now design from my home in the countryside, where I live with my husband and beloved pooch. A lot of my inspiration is drawn from my surroundings and love of animals.

Working within the Scottish wedding industry is awesome, although many of my clients are from further afield. I've worked for couples in England, Australia, The US and Italy - I love learning about different customs and religions.
