Following over a decade of international brand management, Neil established his eponymous office in 2016 with a desire to bring pragmatic function to the highly creative design sector. With a background in journalism, the ideal of ‘design as a business imperative’ underpins Neil’s intuitive approach to brand strategy and marketing. Whilst initially focused on the built environment, today the office seeks collaboration with businesses that share its value of design in sectors as far reaching as retail and consumer goods, hotels and hospitality, and galleries and cultural institutions. Neil’s recent appointment to the board of Melbourne’s Centre for Contemporary Photography demonstrates this evolution in design thinking and participation. At NHO, Neil leads a team of a creative yet commercially minded professionals who harness a global perspective to nurture differentiated brands with enthusiasm and considered methodology. Neil’s proven expertise is amplified by uncompromising ambition and a genuinely client-centric approach, servicing a global client base with an equally global outlook.
