I'm Pearse, founder of WiseLove Studio. I've been a designer for over 20 years, working across brand identity, logo design, campaigns, print, editorial, and exhibition — for organisations that are genuinely trying to do something good in the world. My clients include BBC Alba, Harris Tweed Hebrides, Creative Scotland, HebCelt Festival, Visit Outer Hebrides, Cycling Scotland, and Bòrd na Gàidhlig. Work I'm proud of — not because of the names, but because of what it stands for. In 2024 I won the s1jobs Recruitment Awards 'Creative Idea of the Year' for my campaign work with Turning Point Scotland. My work has been featured in Design Week, published in LogoLounge Book 13, and documented in The 100 Archive. I've been nominated twice for Scottish Design Awards. I'm based in Aberdeenshire, working with organisations across Scotland and beyond from my studio in Aboyne. I also host WiseNoise — a podcast about design, creativity, and the ideas that sit behind the work. And I speak at events when someone's brave enough to hand me a microphone: Curio 06, GAB 32, the Online Design Festival, and others.
