Harry Stevens| Creative Director @ Songs For Walls
"Right from the start, Fergus had a vision of the type of collection he wanted to design and currate. He continually worked with the team to revise and iterate versions of his designs to exceptionally high standards. He takes feedback not just on board but in his stride to continually improve his work and his processes."
Murray Thomson| Owner @ Summit Fitness
"Working with Fergus was a pleasure. Professional and slick work produced brilliant designs and concepts, a great start to the branding of my small business. I would recommend to all."
Sarah Ward | The Daily Record
"The next big cling! Brewing fan Fergus creates amazing eco-friendly wrap from booze waste."
Stephen Deal | Metro UK
"Greener cling film created from gin is just the tonic! A student who started experimenting with home brewing has invented a form a biodegradable cling film - using waste from gin distilleries."
