I am a Scottish visual creative based between NYC, Charleston, SC & the UK with over 15 years experience in a number of design areas, but focusing mostly in Creative Direction, Brand Dev, Print & Digital Publishing (marketing & advertising), & Illustration. Recent clients include Nock Tequila & Mezcal, Den Of Thieves Whiskey, Stereogram Recordings, BBC NI, Pier A Harbor House (NYC), The Rookery (NYC), Prohibition (Charleston) I received my degree from the Glasgow School of Art, and following a protracted spell in the music industry built my own design studio in the UK around 2005. I have lived & worked in the US for over 12 years. I continue to enjoy making my own music & remixing other people’s. I am a sucker for great design (and a horrendous critic of lazy & poor work!), and can’t help but keep an interested eye on design developments throughout the world we live in. In addition to visual creative skills, I have experience in sound design & bespoke music composition for a number of corporate clients (ProTools, Logic, Maschine etc.), have some experience in motion design (particularly motion graphics/title design, Davinci, After Effects, Motion), responsive web design/dev (html5, css3, some javascript, conditional logic, Webflow, a little Wordpress), 3d Product design/animation (Blender, Cinema 4D, Substance), and add to my ‘visual inspiration’ scrapbook whenever I see something interesting/unique, which is invaluable in keeping a designer’s eye keen. I've: Flipped a car with my mother in it on my first lesson: DJ'ed to 13,000 people in Barcelona: Won nothing on 2 TV gameshows: Graduated trampoline school: Broken about 10 bones (my own): Had to bribe my way OUT of a country. Ideally, I will be working with people who like moving FAST. I like making progress with jobs on a daily basis - achieving something each day. This is not to suggest a reduction in quality - consistent improvement along a project's timeline is naturally essential - but let's get things done.…I am a Scottish visual creative based between NYC, Charleston, SC & the UK with over 15 years experience in a number of design areas, but focusing mostly in Creative Direction, Brand Dev, Print & Digital Publishing (marketing & advertising), & Illustration.
