From customer insight to shifting consumer landscapes, he has helped brands evolve, grow and stand out in competitive markets. From early learnings through to lived brand experiences, he helps define how brands can win now and in the future.

PACKAGING

Packaging is a powerful brand moment.

Drawing on his time at Pret A Manger, he has worked across every category of in-store packaging, always considering materials, form and sustainability. The result is packaging that communicates clearly, adds value and brings the brand story to life.
