About me

My name is Karen Mackay and I am a Graphic Designer living and working on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.  I was born and brought up in Stornoway and studied Graphic Design at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. Over the last 25 years I have worked as a Graphic Designer in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ibiza (Spain) and the Cayman Islands. 


I have undertaken many varied projects over the years including design for brochures, packaging, stationary, posters, websites, book covers and even 2 spells as the Graphic Designer for the Bafta winning programme 'Katie Morag' which was shown on Cbeebies.

​

Living out here on the edge of the world we have to be adaptable and I feel that is where my strengths lie. I love a challenge and have frequently found there is ALWAYS a way to solve a problem one way or another.
