I design things for people
For over 20 years (yikes) I've created ad campaigns and websites for brands. Currently I wear many hats - I'm a senior AD, part of the leadership team and lead the UX design process at Jan Kelley. I play a big part in improving all creative and user experiences across the agency, helping people learn and also creating and pitching new business. I began my career in Scotland working in traditional design shops before learning web development. I don't claim to be a developer any more but that knowledge along with the growth of digital marketing in the world at that time really changed things for me. It opened up a new level of creativity and experimentation for me.

After completing my BA, I started my career in print shops developing my skills in design. I then learned web development and, in doing so, built and designed websites for 3 years for P4P Creative in Glasgow.

When I moved to Canada, something switched in my head. My mind opened up to creative and I wanted to try it all. I worked as an Art Director creating digital, print and TV for great clients like Tim Hortons, Mitsubishi, SPC Card and Mattel for agencies in Oakville, Toronto and Burlington.

I started to grow as a mentor and a leader. I joined Jan Kelley in Burlington and began to focus more on the strategy behind the pretty pictures, honing my chops not only in advertising but also in UX. Being able to help others learn and guiding the work has been really rewarding for me.
