Yva
Yorston

Strategic Design Consultant
Yva combines her experiences as a designer, marketeer and entrepreneur to help organisations balance empathetic, creative and commercial mindsets.

Bringing a particular flair for helping clients to communicate with clarity and impact, she has a wealth of experience working with a diverse range of organisations, from micro-businesses to multinationals (73 and counting). She ran her own marketing consultancy for 8 years, before pivoting to a career in design, and joining Graft.

She holds an MSc Design for Business from DJCAD, University of Dundee, and a BA(Hons) Business Enterprise and Management Science from University of Strathclyde. 

Music-lover, Yva, is our self-appointed office DJ. She regularly attends gigs of all genres, and will occasionally tinker on the saxophone or piano. She lives in Aberdeenshire with her husband, Ben, and inexhaustible working cocker spaniel, Ginny, where they enjoy seaside walks, dog agility training and coffee shop dates.
