Art Direction

& Branding

I’m a multi-disciplinary designer with over a decade of experience crafting visual stories for digital and retail brands. From social media campaigns and motion graphics to UX, packaging, and branding — I create design that looks great and performs even better.

I’ve led creative teams and delivered projects for names like John Lewis, Mothercare, Tesco, and Ocado, bringing consistency, clarity, and energy to every brief.

MOTHERCARE

STUDIO MANAGER

I joined the digital team at Mothercare as the senior designer with an extensive amount of retail experience to draw upon. Taking charge of all the creative output I soon noticed other opportunities for improvement.

TESCO

ART DIRECTOR

I joined the Tesco Properties team to provide support for the complete redesign of how the Tesco shopping experience is now to how it will be across the portfolio for the next four years.

ocado

SENIOR DESIGNER

Fancying a new challenge I joined Ocado. I relished the opportunity to see if my retail design skills would translate from print to web. My transition from print designer to a web UX and email designer has been very fast, becoming an expert in the software used.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Neil under my management of an in-house studio team at Tesco. "I have had the pleasure of working with Neil under my management of an in-house studio team at Tesco. Neil is an experienced designer that can direct a team or pull out that golden rabbit out of a hat when required. His head is also full of all that technical knowledge that can upskill a team in an instant to help you turn around a project with that little bit extra efficiency. His passion and sense of humour tends to cut through those tense times when the pressure is on and this has a positive effect on the team as a whole. He is the type of guy you would always want on your team."

Simon MorrisonStudio Manager - Tesco

I worked with Neil whilst freelancing at Tesco. He was a pleasure to work with. His design expertise and technical knowledge are exceptional which makes him a key player in any in-house design studio. I recommend Neil and look forward to working with him in the future.
