I lead the Communication Design team at AppDirect in San Francisco with expertise in user experience, illustration and the Scottish accent.

I began my career with Freight, a leading creative design agency in the UK, before moving to the US. There I worked at Bureau Blank in New York for four years, a multi-disciplinary design consultancy driven by three key values: creativity, process and service.

More recently I moved to San Francisco to work as Head of Communication Design at AppDirect. Our internal creative agency, Dsgn Haus, plays a central role in innovating the AppDirect product, a cloud commerce platform that empowers companies of all sizes to buy and sell software, as well as engaging customers and strengthening the company values. 

With over a decade of agency and in-house experience I'm comfortable working on websites, print design, identities and illustration, taking each from concept to production. And why do I have a squirrel for a logo? Well, you'll just have to ask, but as it happens I'd like the chance to chat about how we could work together so please download my resume and get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
