Sometimes your business just needs a pair of fresh eyes…
Sharpening what gives your brand its edge, and bringing fresh ideas to missed opportunities. From brand and experience to creative direction and content — inspired by the outdoors and a sense of adventure.
WHERE GRIT MEETS POLISH
Open Road Studio is what happens when you take a free-spirited, Bruce Springsteen-loving Scottish lass and drop her into the world of high-end hospitality for over a decade.
It’s where the wild meets the refined — building a sharp instinct for how brands, spaces and experiences feel, and an eye for the details that give them their edge.
Today, I work with independent brands and founders who carve their own path — going against the grain to build something real. I help shape how their brand looks, feels and shows up in the world, offering clear direction, honest feedback and visual ideas to bring it all into alignment.
Christie Brown — Founder
Why work with me?
Authenticity
I don’t follow trends for the sake of it. I start with what’s already there — shaping something that feels true to you, not just what’s popular.
Aligned
It’s not just about how things look — it’s how everything works together. From identity to space to content, I help bring clarity so it all feels considered and consistent.
Attuned
With a background in high-end hospitality, I’ve developed a sharp eye for detail — noticing the small things that shape how something feels, and the ones that quietly hold it back.
Approachable
No big agency layers, no overcomplicated process or jargon. Just me - easy to work with, focused on understanding your vision and keeping things clear and straightforward.
