Background

With over 20 years of experience in the creative and digital sectors, Gordon has built a distinguished career defined by a blend of artistic vision and operational expertise. Since graduating from the University of St Andrews in 2002, his early roles in Aberdeen and Glasgow honed his ability to deliver high-volume commercial design solutions under demanding deadlines.

Since joining the University in 2013, Gordon has been a creative pillar of the Easter Bush Campus, evolving from a specialist designer into a strategic Digital Service Lead.
