Welcome.

Originally started as a private study journal for my MA, this blog has grown to become a place where I can share the thoughts, influences and creative experiments that are inspiring and informing my work as a designer and creative problem-solver.

Have a click around – hopefully you’ll find something that makes you think or better still makes you smile! If you think we may be able to work together to create something amazing, please get in touch.

Zurich Ad



This ad was on our screens around three years ago now, but it stuck in my mind. I've only been able to find the version I wanted in Spanish but the voiceover's not the bit I'm interested in.

The concept is of a commercial premises which changes around the clock - from coffee shop to clothes boutique to restaurant.

I love the idea of having a multi-purpose premises which can so easily change to suit the moment. The way the displays and furniture change with each business reminds me off a Swiss army knife; it's the ultimate in maximising valuable high-street space.

I doubt there's much commercial or marketing mileage in the idea but it would be fun to play with it a little, to see where it could lead.
