About DP

Design and creative direction, with a wider practice spanning art, oil painting and photography.

Design and Creative Direction

I work across design and creative direction, spanning brand, identity, language and digital experience.

Projects range 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.
