The value of word-of-mouth is always huge as a freelancer and it was word-of-mouth that enabled the initial conversation with the team at Saint John’s. I’ve been doing work alongside Trinity Church, Aberdeen for many years and a congregation member from Aberdeen had moved to London and was attending Saint John’s. He suggested my name.

As BRE was approaching their 100 year anniversary, there was a desire to update their existing identity and make it work harder for them in the digital space. The conversation started because of Simon Goodall, of AndThen Associates who we work with regularly. Simon had worked with BRE in the past and had the role of coordinating a new brand strategy to move the company more into the digital era.

Founded in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1888, Squirrel has become one of America’s most iconic and well-loved nut brands, seen everywhere from Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s pocket as he explored the Antarctic, to Hollywood stars’ dressing rooms. Amidst the challenging business conditions of the pandemic, John B. Sanfilippo & Son (JBSS) wanted to reimagine the Squirrel brand packaging, giving it a reason to exist in a crowded marketplace and in its wider portfolio of brands.

Ollie approached Strand Studio with a desire for a strategic rebrand. With the fast-growing brand evolving its offering to support its mission, it was time to re-evaluate the brand's visual identity.

Following the appointment of an ambitious new Chief Executive, Raakhi Shah, The Circle had taken stock of its overall strategy as a charity. For a long time, the organization had supported women across the world in myriad ways, which, while important, created challenges for the organization in differentiating itself from other organizations in the space.

HomeAid had undergone a change of management with a new CEO stepping in to take the charity forward. The new CEO was a previous client of ours with the Murrayfield Racers ice hockey club, and he had established a few areas which needed some improvement. The first of these was branding, so he got in touch.

Carlo and I met when I applied for a Tech Lead/CTO position at Cleverclip, the Swiss design studio Carlo previously founded. As we started to talk, we both felt that I would be a much better fit as his co-founder for a new venture and we started discussing the subscription economy and the general lack of good design in our friends’ apartments.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator creating work centered around branding. Originally from Kansas, I spent eight years in San Francisco and now live in Denver, Colorado. I consider myself part of both cities since I work remotely for Stout and find myself back in the Bay Area often. When not working my day job, I take on limited freelance projects that are either for a good cause or have an interesting story.
