Services

Rigorous thinking. Precise execution.

I work across the full creative spectrum — from the strategic foundations that give a brand its reason to exist, through to the visual systems, campaigns, and executions that bring it to life.

Every engagement is different, but the approach is always the same: understand the problem deeply, then solve it with precision and craft. I work with a small number of clients at any one time, which means every project gets the attention it deserves.

01

Brand Strategy

The thinking that underpins everything else. I work with founders and leadership teams to define what a brand stands for, who it speaks to, and how it positions itself in a competitive landscape.

Includes

  • Brand positioning & architecture
  • Naming & tagline development
  • Audience definition & personas
  • Competitive landscape analysis
  • Messaging hierarchy & voice
  • Brand narrative & story

Ideal for

Founders building from scratch, or established organisations facing a strategic inflection point — new market, new product, new leadership.

02

Visual Identity

The visual language that makes a brand immediately recognisable and enduringly relevant. I design identity systems built to work at every scale — from a business card to a billboard.

Includes

  • Logo system & mark design
  • Typography selection & hierarchy
  • Colour palette & usage system
  • Grid & layout principles
  • Iconography & illustration direction
  • Brand guidelines documentation

Ideal for

Organisations that need a complete visual identity, or those with an existing identity that has outgrown itself.

03

Creative Direction

Leading the creative vision across all touchpoints — from the brief through to final execution. I work as a senior creative partner, bringing consistency and rigour to complex, multi-channel projects.

Includes

  • Creative brief development
  • Cross-channel creative strategy
  • Team & agency direction
  • Creative review & quality control
  • Campaign concept development
  • Ongoing creative leadership

Ideal for

Organisations with in-house teams or agency relationships that need senior creative oversight and a consistent point of view.

04

Campaign Management

End-to-end campaign development — from the strategic idea through to production and delivery. I manage the full process across print, digital, and environmental, keeping creative quality high and timelines intact.

Includes

  • Campaign concept & strategy
  • Production oversight & management
  • Channel strategy & planning
  • Supplier & vendor management
  • Print, digital & OOH delivery
  • Post-campaign review

Ideal for

Brands launching a new product, entering a new market, or running a major campaign without the internal resource to manage it.

05

Design Systems

Scalable, documented systems that allow brands to grow without losing coherence. Built for teams, agencies, and in-house use — with the rigour of a design engineer and the sensibility of a creative director.

Includes

  • Component library design
  • Design token architecture
  • Usage rules & documentation
  • Digital & print system design
  • Team onboarding & training
  • System governance framework

Ideal for

Growing organisations with multiple teams, channels, or markets that need a single source of creative truth.

06

Art Direction

Photography, film, and content direction that translates brand strategy into imagery with genuine visual authority. I brief, direct, and oversee shoots from concept through to final delivery.

Includes

  • Photography & film brief development
  • Shoot concept & moodboarding
  • On-set creative direction
  • Talent & location direction
  • Post-production art direction
  • Content library curation

Ideal for

Brands that need a cohesive visual world — not just individual assets — and want every image to feel intentional.

How we work together

Project

A defined scope, timeline, and outcome. Best for identity projects, campaigns, and strategy engagements with a clear brief.

Retainer

Ongoing creative direction and strategic support on a monthly basis. Best for organisations that need consistent senior creative input without a full-time hire.

Advisory

Strategic counsel and creative review on a lighter-touch basis. Best for founders and leadership teams who want a trusted outside perspective.
