♥ In Loving Memory - Jade Leigh, Content Producer/Associate Producer ♥

Jade was a passionate and gifted media professional whose creativity, warmth, and talent left a lasting mark on everyone she worked with. As the founder of Bonnie Media, Jade carved out a respected name for herself in Scotland’s creative industries, championing diverse stories and voices through digital content, documentary, and community-led media. She was also a former Miss Galaxy and Miss Scotland.

A beloved presenter and associate producer with Bad Pony Media since 2021, Jade brought authenticity, heart, and humour to every project she touched.
