Craig Troup
Craig is a young entrepreneur with a creative heart from Aberdeen. He has been keen for business from a very young age where he sold glow sticks at school, proceeded to expand his stock range and began selling various products online.
During this time he completed the Strathclyde Young Entrepreneur Course and presented one of his products to the First Minister of Scotland. Craig then developed his business acumen with Rough Edge, a fashion company which became a finalist in the SIE National Business Plan Competition while studying a BA in Retail Management at The Robert Gordon University.
Ever since his first simple business idea, Craig has worked hard to master the art of branding. Craig designed all websites, promotional ideas and business identities himself through a self-taught, consistently expanding creative skill set. Craig joined Ooto Design to branch out in this area and bring a fusion of business knowledge and creativity to new, exciting businesses who want designs with impact.
Craig was recently featured in an article by the Press and Journal for his entrepreneurial accomplishments and success of a first class honours degree in Retail Management at The Robert Gordon University. An extended article can be seen at the RGU website.
Gary Adamson
Gary is a, slightly younger, graphic and illustrative designer from Edinburgh with a creative heart, that he has combined with an ever increasing business acumen, since his first business venture at the age of 15 designing flyers and promotional materials for local small businesses.
With a taste for creativity, Gary went on to study fine art and illustration at Telford College and was subsequently accepted to The Robert Gordon University, to study at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. It was while studying in the city that Gary met Craig and the pair began developing a graphic and web design company that became Out Of The Ordinary Design.
Since the formation of Ooto, Gary has combined his passion for creativity and a knack for personal service to work on a face-to-face basis with clients helping them develop their ideas into memorable and functional designs.
