I started Lochside Creative with Molly because we wanted freedom - the freedom to work on our own terms, build something meaningful, and use our creativity to help other people create that same freedom in their own businesses.

My background isn’t the typical design route. I’ve always been creative, always drawing, and when I served in the Royal Marines, sketching tattoos and artwork became one of my outlets. Whether it was drawing, tattoo design, or skateboarding, creativity was something I always came back to.

Over time, that passion evolved into design and eventually into branding. I realised I could combine creativity with strategy to make a real impact for businesses. I studied graphic design for 18 months, and that’s where I truly found what I love.

Now, at Lochside Creative, I help businesses transform how they’re seen. Good branding doesn’t just look good, it builds trust, positions you as the expert, attracts your ideal clients, and gives you the confidence to value your work properly.

My role is simple: take businesses that are blending in, and create a brand that stands out, feels authentic, and grows with them.

For me, it’s never just about creating a “pretty logo.” It’s about building brands that position you as the go-to in your industry, attract the right clients effortlessly, and give you the space to focus on running your business while your branding does the heavy lifting.
