About us

The Port is a highly creative, multidisciplinary design studio in Edinburgh. We work across a broad range of disciplines – including exhibition design, graphic design, product design, design for print, illustration, branding, digital and art direction. We approach every project imaginatively and inquisitively to provide a well-considered, well-crafted outcome.

The Port Creative is led by Andy Matthew, an award winning designer with over 25yrs experience working for a number of leading UK design and branding agencies. After graduating with a BA Honours Degree in design from Edinburgh College of Art, his professional design life started out in Aberdeen before taking him to London in 1993 and into the world of FMCG brand packaging design. In 2007 he returned to Edinburgh where he worked as a Senior Creative for Threebrand in Edinburgh. During his time there he created iconic, immersive, and award-winning experiences for major brands such as William Grant & Sons, Heineken, Diageo, Casa Cuervo, Patrón Spirits International AG, Higson's Craft Beer and Philips.
