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.
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.
WHERE GRIT MEETS POLISH
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.
