Catherine Gray is a Creative Director with almost 20 years’ experience in digital design and advertising. She is credited with creating award-winning campaigns for brands such as IKEA, Virgin and War Child, and has worked for the top-ranked advertising agencies in London, Sydney, and New York.

As a personal initiative, she created her own social media project on Instagram – '40years40jumpsuits' which received national press coverage, including articles in The Huffington Post and Mashable.
