Graphic Design

“Aberdeen Art Gallery commissioned Cat to design a fun and funky ‘Weird Trail’, and her style was the perfect fit! The gallery trail was created by Aberdeen primary school children and included artworks on display in Aberdeen Art Gallery that they thought were ‘weird’. The project was part of Workforce for the Future project, supported by Museums Galleries Scotland, and copies of the trail are now available for future learners to enjoy while exploring the gallery. Cat was a joy to work with and a consummate professional, adapting to the needs and restrictions of the project every step of the way”
