about Me
My name is Eilidh (like 'Hayley' without the 'H') and I love to create. That's me above in my favourite shark jumper.
I'm a Scottish lass, based in Glasgow, Scotland. My cat is called Freddie and he was born in Maryhill, so he understands Scottish words.
I have studied lots of different things, starting with medicine, taking a turn through event management and ending up at graphic design.
I love being a freelance designer, whether that means coming up with ideas, tackling branding, assisting in the creative process, providing content for social media accounts, or whatever you need help with. I also offer training to individuals and organisations in best use of design principles and maximising your social media impact.
Above all, I love making sure everything is done to the highest possible standard. Details are important. Enthusiasm is important. Being nice is VERY important.
If I can help with your project, please do get in touch for a chat. I would love to hear from you!

What peeps are saying
Eilidh is a creative designer and writer who can take the bones of an idea and turn it into something vibrant and engaging.
Sarah Metcalfe
Previous CEO, Playlist for Life
Eilidh has delivered a variety of pieces of work for me and for others I have recommended her to. Her work is of the highest standard, creative and innovative. She grasps abstract concepts and undefined briefs and turns them into superb design ideas. I would highly recommend her work.

Eilidh's illustrations bring our articles to life with warmth and character. I wish I could keep her in my pencil case.
