In my role as Social Media Manager for the Navigators UK, I promoted events, resources, and local ministries across the country through Instagram—building a consistent, professional, and authentic online presence. I developed content strategies, designed graphics using Adobe Creative Suite and Canva, and ran social campaigns that highlighted real people and stories from our community. I also designed the cover for their most recent magazine edition, Alongsider, contributed written articles, and created posters and merch for national events.
“Emma has a recognisable visual style that is vibrant, contemporary and fun. During her placement, she contributed beautiful graphics and artwork for digital and print media. She also took the opportunity to put her photography skills to good use. Easy-going yet focused, Emma gets things done and is a pleasure to work with.”
Mark Girvan - Communications Manager
Alongside this, I’ve been trained in photography and videography, including producing Instagram Reels and event coverage. I’ve served as photographer at The Navigators National Conference, as well as at local worship nights and youth events in Glasgow churches, capturing content that communicates the heart of each event visually and compellingly.
I’ve been doing freelance design work since university, creating wedding stationery, personal illustrations, and album covers for up-and-coming artists. I love crafting thoughtful, story-driven visuals that bring people’s ideas to life.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Digital Design from Glasgow Caledonian University, where I honed my skills in content creation, brand identity, digital strategy, and visual storytelling.
I especially love projects with impact. Some favourites include Period Prep—an educational resource to help girls prepare for their periods beforehand; branding Chocolate for Change—a fair trade, ethical chocolate brand; and a mental health campaign encouraging students to talk openly about their feelings. I enjoy creating thoughtful, story-driven visuals that not only look good but also do good.
