I’m Charlie — an Edinburgh based, multidisciplinary designer with over eight years of agency experience specialising in Brand + Digital Design.
A bit about me
I’m a designer, creative and life-long learner. I’ve been creative for as long as I can remember, terrorising my mum’s wallpaper with crayons from the age of 2.
Practicing in Graphic Design has taught me how to channel that creativity to solve problems, and has developed my conceptual thinking to solve all kinds of briefs. I consider myself to be a multidisciplinary creative who is good at adapting from project to project. I love nothing more than developing ideas and seeing them through to the final product.
Thank you for taking the time to look through my portfolio. If you like what you see and would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

“Charlie’s skills are wide and varied. Clients love him for being an active listener who can easily and effortlessly understand what they’re looking for. He takes a bold, conceptual approach in everything he does - with imaginative ideas that always make an impact. He is wonderfully intuitive and has a sensitivity with his solutions that is rare in one so young. Finally, he adds a delightfully personal touch to everything he does, ensuring solutions are crafted with a little flair.
Charlie has a wonderful attitude to learning and helping others as well as a great sense of humour - he is a fun loving character who brightens up every day in the studio. A conceptual thinker, award winner and great team player - and one with a tremendous future in design.”

“Charlie is a thoughtful & considered designer with an appetite for storytelling, learning and mastering his craft. On top of all that, he's a lovely bloke and a great team player.”

“Charlie is an adaptable, multi-disciplined designer with a keen eye for detail and a deep passion for creativity. Whilst he joined Tayburn as an eager and capable digital designer he is more than qualified when it comes to applying the same level of skill to both brand and print projects. This broad understanding of different mediums makes him a sought-after designer.
Charlie is able to work efficiently as part of a group but is also capable of carrying out creative work on his own to a high standard. In my opinion, this is a bonus, and his love of design really shows through when he is let loose on a brief.
A great team player, able and willing to take part in group work and out-of-office sessions, Charlie would make a great addition to any team he joins. I'd be more than happy to work with him again in the future.”
