Awards won

I'm a multidisciplinary creative based in Edinburgh — equal parts strategist and maker. My work lives at the intersection of brand identity, visual storytelling, and digital experience design.

After more than a decade in the industry, I still believe that the most transformative work begins with genuine curiosity: asking the right questions before reaching for the right tools.

I've worked with independent studios, global agencies, and one-person businesses who all shared the same conviction — that design isn't decoration. It's the clearest way to say what you mean.

Clients I've been
lucky enough to serve

Percival has a rare ability to translate a vague creative direction into something genuinely iconic. He asked questions nobody else thought to ask, and the results spoke for themselves.

Creative Director, Meridian Group

Working with Percy felt less like a client–vendor relationship and more like a genuine collaboration. He cared as much about the outcome as we did — maybe more.

Founder, Harbour Digital

Our packaging went from forgettable to shelf-stopping in a single iteration. Percival understood our brand deeper than we did. Exceptional taste and zero ego.

Let's make
something real

I take on a small number of projects each year to make sure every one gets the attention it deserves. If you've got something worth building, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
