About Us

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 designer from Edinburgh with a keen interest in illustrative design. After High School (at Leith Academy) he completed a course at Telford College and was subsequently accepted to study at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. It was while studying in the city that Gary met Craig and became involved in the Rough Edge brand.

While working on Rough Edge, the pair went on to create Ooto Design.
