FF Magazine Scotland Issue 1 - Launch | Page 39

Make up by: Claire Nicholl Chan Location: Meow Studios Leith Paul Keenan Blogger What were you doing before this? I was a Visual Merchandising manager full time. I loved it as a job as you have a chance to impact a business on a visual level and it’s really satisfying. I would definitely encourage anyone interested in it to pursue it! Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I’m more of a here and now guy and will follow my path wherever it takes me! As they say…”Whats meant for you won’t pass you by!” What is your plan for 2016? I have lots of exciting projects to sink my teeth into this year but there are also new things i want to try… as cryptic as it sounds! I’ll also continue to write and have been asked to write for a brand new magazine starting March (but thats all i can say)! Who would you consider your hero / heroine? I would probably say F.Scott Fitzgerald. I’ve been obsessed with his books all my life and have major love for the 20’s when love, passion and creativity really flourished. I wish I could have lived back then. Where can people find you and your work?
