Gail Perry Johnston (aka Gail Perry Treks) is a multifaceted creative professional with years of experience as a graphic designer, art director, writer, publisher, content creator, and speaker. 
While completing her B.F.A., she won a national competition sponsored by Saatchi & Saatchi that landed her in a high-level art director position right out of college. After seven nonstop years working in Manhattan agencies and San Francisco design studios, Gail formed her own graphic design business in the San Francisco Bay Area. During the past 30 years, her design and branding expertise has helped launch hundreds of new products. Her clients range from bioscience and healthcare giants to premium producers of wine. 
As a writer, she has been published by Random House, HarperCollins, Workman Publishing, her own Cupola Press and numerous magazines. She has served as both author and designer for many of her published works, including the 2025 and 2026 Walks of the World calendars, which reflect her lifelong passion for hiking.
