Pine tree needles carpet the streets still, like Narnia trying its damnedest to escape out of all the wardrobes of West Edinburgh. Formerly festive trees rest by the rubbish bins while my dogs firmly believe in magic. After all a forest appeared overnight, then vanished! More than once! The air is crisp and fresh… Continue reading Can you dream it?
As sponsors and creative partners of The Marketing Society, we were delighted to attend this year’s St Andrew’s Day Dinner. We were equally thrilled to have had the opportunity to design the event’s programme booklet. The cover design represents both land and tradition. The on-the-rocks ice cube reflects Scotland’s mountainous terrains, whereas the… Continue reading MARKETING SOCIETY: ST ANDREWS DAY

People might moan and groan that Christmas has gotten too commercial over the years, but everyone loves the adverts! Whether it’s an old man on the moon, a friendly monster under the bed, a penguin or a snowman, the show-stopping Christmas advert is as part of the season as the switching on of the… Continue reading Christmas too commercial?
The last birthday party for a two-year-old I attended was my nephew’s. It had everything you could hope for at a toddler’s shindig. Family and friends were crammed into a semi-detached house on a rainy Saturday afternoon, with an immense range of junk food and loud toys. I was incredibly proud of my gift… Continue reading Always be celebrating
