About me

Keelie is a globally experienced Creative Director with over two decades in brand strategy and design, specialising in premium consumer branding across food, beverage, personal care, health, and wellness.

With a foundation in corporate identity and environmental design, she brings a rare 360° view of brand creation — from spatial storytelling to pack, product, and activation. Her true passion lies in building visual brand worlds that feel intentional, intelligent, and emotionally resonant — whether revitalising heritage brands or shaping innovation pipelines from scratch.

Keelie has lived and worked across the UK, USA, Australia and Southeast Asia, leading global projects for both multinational giants and start-up challengers. She excels in making complex brand architecture simple, guiding clients through full-scale repositioning, range navigation, and distinctive brand assets that last.

Her experience spans household names and niche disruptors alike — from Pepsico's US innovation team and Interbrand's global clients, to intimate founder-led ventures. She has an eye for craft, a head for systems, and a relentless drive to bring clarity, charm, and depth to every brand she touches.

Clients include: Bacardi (William Lawson's, Otard, 42 Below), Efes, Bomonti, Slake Spirits, Thatchers, Brothers Cider, Pepsico, Crabtree & Evelyn, Cushelle, Plenty, MARS, Danone, Wrigley, Essity, GSK, Reckitt, Bayer, Nestlé, Unilever, McCain, Twinings, and more.
