Brand + Creative Director

Born in Scotland. Live and work in London. I work across beauty and lifestyle — shaping brands from the thinking through to the doing. Strategy, identity, campaigns, digital platforms, retail. The whole picture.

Sometimes I’m brought in to build something from the ground up. Sometimes it’s about sharpening what’s already there. Either way, clarity comes first. I like simple ideas. Strong design. Good headlines. Brands that know exactly who they are — and aren’t.

What feeds my imagination? People. Cities. Architecture. Retail spaces that make sense. Websites that don’t overcomplicate things. Interiors that inspire. Packaging you want to keep.

I’ve worked with brands including L’Oréal, The Body Shop, Crabtree & Evelyn, Paperchase, Advanced Nutrition Programme, Oasis, Kickers, Ellesse, Lacoste and Whistles.

Global names. Growing brands. Established players. New challengers. Different scales. Same expectation: make it better, and make it matter.

If you’re shaping something new — or rethinking what already exists — let’s have a proper conversation.
