Shaping brand stories into design systems and memorable experiences.

I'm an architect and creative lead with 15 years' experience turning brand strategy into distinctive concepts and compelling stories — from early ideation and creative direction through to product, interior and spatial design, brand activations and large-scale experiential events, for global brands across retail, FMCG and hospitality. That's where a brand's story and concept take shape; from there, it becomes a system — modular, scalable, and built to hold its creative quality across markets and budgets. I currently lead a 3D design team, setting design direction and shaping the team's output.

With so much time spent in front of a screen, I love getting a bit inky every now and then.

Creative ideation has always been my strength, and it's the part of the work I love most. But I believe there's just as much creativity in solving the technical side of things — working out how to actually bring an idea to life. That's where I put my experience across 2D, 3D and CAD to work: breaking down and organising the elements that make a design solid and consistent, structuring information correctly, and building a pipeline that's genuinely optimised and effective.

What AI doesn't — and shouldn't — replace, alongside the creative ideation, is the judgement that turns a brief into a system: the tiering, the modularity, the production logic that lets a toolkit hold up across twenty markets and three budget tiers.

To test that idea properly, I'm running a personal project: taking a solid, human-built design system and using AI to roll it out — generating new scales and applications while following the system's own rules, rather than redesigning each one from scratch. It's a way of finding out how far a well-built system can travel on its own, and where a designer's judgement is still non-negotiable.

Case study coming soon.
