Founding designer / 05LONDON, UK

From zero.Tosomething.

I’m Gavin. I’m the designer you bring in early, when there’s a big idea, a small team and no brand yet. I build the foundations, then I build on them.

First ideas.
Lasting foundations.

The practice, up close.

The idea

From first idea.
To every detail.

You’re early, ambitious and moving fast. Strategy, identity, product and packaging, owned end to end.

Areas of focus
  • Ambiguity → direction
  • Brand + product
  • Hands-on ownership
Taking ownership early

I’ve built brands from zero.

I’ve worked with young founding teams who had belief, a big idea and not much else. I help turn that into a brand that looks ready long before the business is big.

How I work with founders
What you get with me
  1. I own it end to end, from strategy to shelf
  2. Foundations that grow with the business
  3. Founder-level ownership and straight talking
