My name is Doug MacKay, I am a freelance graphic designer who has been working in the graphic design and publishing industry for over 28 years. I have worked extensively in graphics, magazine and editorial design, illustration, infographics, print and digital media design, photography and video editing production. I am also an artist and musician.

As a freelance graphic designer my clients include large nationwide membership organisations, national and Kent based charities, business innovation companies, design agencies and advanced software tech companies. For these, I produce digital and print publications, magazines, infographics, slide deck presentations, illustration, video editing and branding work.
Previous to my freelance work I spent 14 years working for Deeson Publishing, who specialised in communication solutions for membership organisations and the Deeson Group, a design and website development agency, based in Canterbury and London.

I have an extensive range of experience in design, print and design consultation, having gained a degree in Fine Art and Film.
