Unblanding
brands since March 2OO7.
Think of me as your in-house creative director, without hiring an actual in-house creative director.
Based in sunny Prestwick, I run a small, laser-focused design studio that helps ambitious business owners build bold, original brands. No middlemen, no fluff — just honest, strategic design that works. I work from home, so you don’t pay for fancy offices and ping pong tables and bikes on the wall.
You’ll speak directly to me throughout the entire process. From naming and logo design to full brand systems, I create work that’s thoughtful, distinctive, and built to last — not churned out by AI or recycled templates.
If you’re after something for free, I’m not your guy. If you’re after a cheap ‘let's put a plaster on it’ fix, then I can point you the right direction. But if you’re serious about your brand and branding, I’ll help you make it unforgettable.
My focus is brand strategy, branding / logo design and design systems, all crafted with purpose, clarity and care. Like the logo you see here — made for a golf product company in Ayrshire — I believe good design should look great and do something meaningful.
I’ll guide you to ‘branding your brand’ in the most strategic, creative and authentic way possible.
No jargon. No ego. Just design that helps your brand stand out for all the right reasons.
Why choose me to help with your logo design or branding project?
HONESTY AND INTEGRITY
You’ll work directly with me every step of the way. No faceless agency teams—just honest, creative collaboration tailored to your brand’s needs and future requirements. If I need to outsource, I will tell you. That’s refreshing.
PURPOSE LED CREATIVITY
From clever logo marks to flexible brand identity systems, everything I create is purpose‑driven, tailored around your brand and built to last if you need it. Longevity built in and around your brand you could say.
UNIQUELY AUTHENTIC
I have a pragmatic approach to finding out answers and solutions. I have a really clear approach to my process and that helps you get the right answers in the long term. Do you really want notetakers or do you want the experts to diagnose and find solutions with you?
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVER
I dig deep into your current brand. I don’t do surface level 'ticky-box' stuff that’s been lifted from another internet site. Then I deliver you unique insights, strategy and visuals rooted in the foundation of finding unique ways to present your new idea to the world.
And I’d like to thank...

Always a brilliant experience to work with Tom. Our recent project was on a tender submission, it was a huge document but Tom quickly understood the brief and worked to a very tight deadline to deliver an aesthetically outstanding piece of work. Tom Is attentive, modern in his approach and thinking, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Appreciate Group plc
Tom supported Appreciate Group’s people change programme Imagin8 as part of our transformation.
The creative interpretation was both fresh & exciting and far exceeded our expectations. Tom’s designs helped us to land critical messages about our culture in a fun, simple and engaging way.
The visual imagery has embedded not only across our office location and through collateral but within our colleagues day to day. The dynamic illustrations have become the ‘short - hand’ descriptor for the way we do things around here.
If you get the chance to work with Tom ...grab it.

Tom is a great creative mind. Worked with him on a couple of projects and I was very happy with the outcomes. Tom is also very committed to supporting his local community, giving a lot back to other organisations such as the Prestwick Business Association.

Tom has worked with us on a number of different projects over the past 3 years, from exhibition space graphics and product brochures to business card design for a trip to China. We always use his service because he delivers a skilled, professional service that comes in on time and on budget. Tom is a genuinely talented and creative designer that can help you realise a unique vision for your projects; we just say what the project is and what we want to achieve and Tom will present us with some great ideas based on our branding and objectives.
I have no hesitation in recommending his service.

Wolman GmbH
We use Tom for all kinds of promotional material both for us at BASF Wolman GmbH, a high quality supplier of wood preservatives to the UK market and the customers we supply. In all projects there is a sense of professionalism, speed and ideas to suit the task at hand. ATOM are an excellent source of providing a consistent sense of the branding required and ideas that can be better than the original brief – a very good cost effective company who have helped us over may years.
