rustylemon design is a small sole-trader business established by Mary Fleming in 2006. Mary studied Graphic Design in Athlone Institute of Technology (NCEA Design Communications Certificate, 1991), and Central Saint Martins, London (BA Degree, 1994). Since then she has worked in the UK and Ireland, for a range of clients from national press to corporate businesses and the entertainment industry. Her last position, as an employee, was Senior Designer for Zeus Creative in Dublin, where she headed up a studio of four designers. Her experiences there included the design and art direction of promotional brochures, corporate literature and packaging.
The main clients included Abhainn (Riverdance), The Abbey Theatre, BIM, Bord Glas, Megazyme, K-Tel, National Food Centre, Castle Leslie and Luttrellstown Castle.
In 2003 she took a brief career break to start a family, during which she was offered a number of freelance jobs. Confident that there was a market for her skills and knowledge, she started rustylemon design with the help of a start-up grant from Longford Enterprise. She continues to build up a healthy client list consisting of small to medium businesses around the Midlands of Ireland.
