Who we are
The Raw Nerve team is a mix of strategic and creative thinkers. Experts in project management, brand strategy, design, events and social media, we are all driven by our own ideas and initiative, but united by our drive to producing new and exciting work that exceed expectations.
Rebecca Molina —
Founder & Creative Director
Rebecca has been the driving force behind Raw Nerve since its foundation in 2003. Passionate about the community in which she lives and works, she approaches all projects with the same level of enthusiasm. An average 'Rebecca day' includes creative direction, business development, nurturing the Raw Nerve family, devising strategies, loving everything she's involved in and acting as chief sounding board. Our 'pocket dynamo' should really be plugged into the National Grid, but we can't spare her.

Kieran McMillan —
Founder & Technical Director
Described as the 'lean, mean IT machine', our co-founder and multi-tasker regularly troubleshoots technical projects whilst cycling to the studio or juggling children. He possesses a sharp combination of creative and technical skills in digital production and his extensive knowledge of user experience and social media is vital for our innovative strategies. When he's not marvelling at the wonder of the latest technological breakthrough, he's rolling up his sleeves and getting hands-on with production.
Favourite Project
Creative Network Platform. 'Nothing beats it, we're seeing our
collective knowledge, experience and shear determination coming
together beautifully.'
Jamie Paton —
Senior Graphic Designer
By day, an experienced brand specialist in charge of developing highly creative communications strategies and design treatments across multiple platforms. By night, a consummate 80s retro-muso with an abiding passion for old drum machines. We rely on Jamie for his perfectionism, calm nature and foresight, not to mention the spectacular in-house playlist, dry Scottish humour and the oddly shaped parcels that periodically arrive on his desk from eBay.

my taste in music...'
Sonal Patel —
Project Manager
The Holy Grail for any creative agency is a Project Manager who understands the complexities of design, whilst being able to crack the whip with gusto. Sonal Patel bridges that gap, and then some. She's flexible enough to oversee all our projects and productions, including print, website development and exhibition design. Her personal projects are mainly focused around her passion for product design. This woman can make anything. And make anything happen.

Life Is Suite. 'What could be better than making
a product out of your favourite memories?'
Glen Birchall —
Graphic Designer
Talented and dedicated creative Glen has been responsible for conceptual frameworks and management of many design projects and creative campaigns over the last four years. Passionate about architecture, music and design, he never ceases to come up with creative solutions for our strategies, and see the job through to the very last detail. No matter how unusual the project, he never gets phased. And boy, do we push our luck sometimes...
Favourite Project
Hub. 'It's a concept we can expand across
many platforms.'
Chris Paton —
Interactive Developer
A long-term member of the team, "Q" is our web developer and animator, specialising in Flash, CSS e-flyers and brand experience. We depend on him to turn all our creative into interactive code (AKA: making things move on screen) without compromising the design. Q has a quirky sense of humour, which often surfaces in his work. And if you catch him talking about music with Jamie, you won't get a word in.
