About DP


Creative direction and design, with a wider practice spanning art, oil painting and photography.

Creative Direction + Design

I’m a creative director and designer working across brand, identity, language and digital experience.

I work with organisations to create and develop brands, from initial thinking and positioning through to identity, communications and digital design.

My approach is straightforward: understand the problem, find the idea and make it work.

Experience

I’ve worked agency-side and independently, with organisations large and small, on everything from focused design assignments to long-term brand programmes.

More recently, I co-founded Flynt, an AI-powered platform for building and managing brands, where I lead the creative direction.

Beyond Design

Alongside my commercial work, I maintain an active practice as an artist and oil painter.

My background in printed textiles and screen printing continues to influence how I work, particularly my interest in image-making, surface, composition and the relationship between different forms of visual communication.

I’m also a keen photographer and have travelled extensively, documenting people, places and moments encountered along the way.

Originally from Scotland, I now live just outside Brighton on the south coast of England.
