With over 20 years’ experience in design and creative direction, we understand how profoundly space can influence how we feel, think, and live day to day.
Renaissense exists to help you establish clear, considered design direction early in the process, offering a new, more streamlined way to approach interior design.
Why Renaissense Exists…
A New Approach to Design
We begin by taking time to understand you, alongside the space you live in. We combine modern digital tools and process, with holistic design principles to craft spaces that are beautiful, functional and tailormade to you.
Alongside our traditional design background, we also consider proportion, nature, and sensory experience as fundamental aspects of design that reflect and supports the wider rhythms of life and wellbeing.

Our Experience
With over two decades of experience in design and creative direction, our work spans private residences, wellness spaces, and cultural environments and brand activations, each approached with the same care, clarity, and attention to detail.
What sets us apart is the breadth of understanding we bring to every project. We approach design as a considered craft, informed by experience and supported by contemporary tools, allowing us to move beyond convention and shape solutions that are tailored to both the space and the people who inhabit it..

Trained in interior architecture and specialising in immersive design and creative direction, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective to crafting interiors that are both functional and beautiful.
In 2010 he developed Touching the NEOlithic at the Scottish National Museum, a pioneering installation that redefined museum experience design.
