Great design isn't magic.

(Well, maybe a little)

I help small businesses, startups and charities – in Scotland and beyond – look every bit as good as they are with design, content and merchandise that works like a charm.

What I Do

I help small businesses, startups and charities look every bit as good as they are — through design that works online, in-store, or at a glance.

For Starting out or starting over (established orgs)

I shape how your work looks and feels, so it makes sense to the people you’re trying to reach and shows up consistently wherever it appears.

For creative partnership

I work with a small number of clients on a retained basis — so when you need something, I’m already up to speed. No re-briefing, no starting from scratch, just consistent creative support that grows with you.

Lovely reviews from lovely people

Dan's work is seriously incredible. He took our brand and pushed it to the next level creating some really beautiful documents. He absolutely nailed the brand voice and our visual sense of humour, including little Easter Eggs in his design work which is the kind of stuff we f**king love. I sincerely hope you don't hire Dan, because he's so f**king good I want to keep him to ourselves as our secret sauce - his work has made a distinctive brand so much more eye popping and memorable.
