MACY Creative offers vibrant, thoughtful illustration and graphic design services—all under one roof. Whether you're a national organisation or a small team with big ideas, I'm here to help bring your message to life—visually and meaningfully. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients like Obesity Action Scotland, the BBC, Public Health Scotland, Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks, Landmark Adventure Park, and Glasgow City Council. I love collaborating with both individuals and organisations to deliver work that genuinely connects with the people it's meant for. What makes my service unique is that I combine graphic design and custom illustration into one complete offering, so you don’t need to work with separate designers and illustrators to get a cohesive result. My illustration work spans a wide range of styles, allowing me to tailor the look and feel to suit your message and audience. My graphic design style is clean, smart, and clutter-free, so everything I create is clear, eye-catching, and easy to engage with. As an independent creative working from my own home studio, I don’t have the big overheads that larger agencies do. That means I can offer a more personal service that’s not only flexible and collaborative, but also very affordable and great value for money. I work across a wide range of sectors and enjoy adapting my style to suit each project—whether it's a bold, professional campaign or something more lighthearted and playful. I have a particular knack for creating fun and engaging visuals that appeal to children, but I'm equally confident in designing for a variety of audiences and purposes. Whatever the brief, I bring creativity, flexibility, and a thoughtful approach to every project.
