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. with honors, she won a national competition by Saatchi & Saatchi that placed 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 25 years, her design and branding expertise has helped launch hundreds of new products. She continues to serve a diverse set of clients that range from bioscience and healthcare giants to premium producers of wine, avocado oil and hot sauce. 
As a writer, she has been published by Random House, HarperCollins, her own Cupola Press, and numerous magazines. Her writing is relatable and insightful, covering topics as varied as making the most of working from home, finding the right fit as a volunteer, and applying creativity to everything you do. An avid hiker all her life, Gail pitched the concept of a page-a-day “Walks of the World” calendar series to Workman Publishing. She’s thrilled to have completed the first two years in the series. Find the 2025 Walks of the World on Amazon and the 2026 Walks of the World on pageaday.com. 
As a keynote speaker, Gail applies her creativity and presentation skills to engage and inspire her audience. Contact her.
