Bonnie Coupland: Art Editor & Publisher
Being bought up to love grass track, Mini and drag racing means ROAD magazine and blog design ace Bonnie had a taste for burning rubber and petrol from a very young age. And going on to be an art editor on some of the UK’s leading motoring titles for seven years only fueled this fascination.
Bonnie is also the Head of Design for www.roylemedia.co.uk, creating bespoke designs for editorial, PR, marketing and weddings.
