Ellen & EMB Graphics

Ellen McBride and EMB Graphics

Ellen graduated in 2000 after 3 years full time study, with an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design, specialising in Print & Multi Media. Since then, she’s kept up to date with ever changing industry trends and technology.

embgraphics was formed in 2002, and 22 years on, Ellen can be found just to the rear of 27 Dunkeld Street in her fantastic purpose built design studio.You can’t miss it, it’s the giant larch clad “shed”.

embgraphics offers bespoke branding, print & web design solutions and illustration to a wide range of sectors all over Scotland and beyond.

Clients range from all walks of life, all looking for design solutions, they’re a diverse and interesting mix of private and business clients. If you are looking for a simple birthday invite, bespoke wedding stationnery, quality litho print, low run digital printing, website design and hosting, commissioned illustrations then look no further look no further.

Ellen can be found in her studio at 27 Dunkeld Street, Aberfeldy, Monday to Friday 10m to 5pm most days, but if she’s not inside, she’s likely taking a break and pottering about in the garden (keeping an eye on the chooks). Integral to the team and smooth operation of the studio are Stan Lee and Oliver the Bull Terriers, they make sure Ellen is kept on her toes and taking a lunch time walk every day.

Getting back to her love of art and design, Ellen studied Botanical Illustration at the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh (RBGE). In 2020 she gained a Certificate in Botanical Illustration and was awarded a Distinction.

Ellen went on to study the Advanced Certificate in Botanical Illustration course at RBGE in 2023 and was awarded another Distinction for her painted study of a Camellia x williamsii “Freedom Bell” which can be seen below.
