Deputy Editor

Hannah Matheson

Hannah is a marketing student based in Aberdeen and is the editor for Continue The Voice.

Graphic Designer 

Anna McFarlane 

When Anna is not shaking up fancy cocktails in her primary job in hospitality she can be found working as a graphic designer, such as her role here. She is hoping to return to University to study a masters in the not too distant future but has been enjoying putting that off by traveling around as much of the world as possible. Her portfolio of some experimental creative work can be found here.

Illustrator 

Sophie Freestone 

Sophie’s first children’s book was published soon after she graduated from the Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall. However, she decided to put art on hold and pursue her other life’s passion for a while: skiing. She spent a ski season in the French Alps last winter and will be returning to the mountains next month. However, Sophie really enjoys illustration projects when she has the time, such as getting involved in the first issue of Continue The Voice. You can find more of Sophie's work here.
