Biography

I am a Graphic Designer based at the Foresterhill Campus while working with the whole University community. I joined the University in 2006 as a Reprographic/Photographic Technician working in the Queen Mother Library.

After 3 years study at Perth College, I graduated with an HND Graphic Communication. I worked in a few Photo Labs before applying for the Technician job. 3rd time lucky I was successful. 3 seems to be a theme as I have been part of three teams, Reprographics, Uniprint and now happily working with the Design Team using my Graphic Design training.

My role includes: -

  • working with the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition creating their course learning guides
  • creating documents for print, for example: -
    • roll up banners
    • posters
    • flyers
    • brochures
    • booklets
    • Conference Abstract Booklets
    • Name Badges
    • Business Cards
  • ensuring any files to be used online are designed and checked for Accessibility (via Adobe checker and Ally)

Away from work I love crafting, especially paper craft but love learning new skills, enjoying meals out, holidays and spending time with hubby and family.
