Scottish Creative Director, based the last five years in the Middle East. Throughout this time I have collaborated with some wonderful talent in the region. In June 09, I launched a new brand design consultancy James, with our loft atelier James Branding & Design based in Media City Dubai. Extensive international experience of bringing brands to life from strategy through to execution and implementation. Russell's all pervading interest in the culture of design, style and communication have led to special projects as far afield as Barcelona, Barbados, Glasgow, London, Hamburg, New York, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now home is Dubai and all things East&West.; Im always interested in hearing from and collaborating with highly talented designers, typographers, artists, photographers and film makers.
