ABOUT

I am an independent product, retail and packaging designer, with 25 years experience in the Luxury and Beauty sectors.

From my studio in Wimbledon, South-West London, I support global creative and luxury brands.

As Director of Packaging Design for Burberry, I worked in-house for eight years - collaborating closely with Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey and the senior leadership teams. There, I developed a thorough understanding of production, development and commercial matters.

Prior to joining Burberry, I ran my own business with my wife Angela, producing designs for beauty brands including Givenchy, Yves St Laurent and Issey Miyake.

TESTIMONIALS

“By designing a stunning, cohesive portfolio of fragrances, Vincent has been a key contributor in making Burberry the truly credible luxury beauty brand it has become.”

Simona Cattaneo, CMO Luxury Brands, Coty.

“Vincent’s understanding of the luxury packaging world is second-to-none. He has deep insight into how design decisions impact business and vice-versa.”

Alistair Gibbs, Vice-President of Brand Design, Burberry.

“Vincent has a rare profile: he is a creative who enjoys working in partnership with production and marketing teams to deliver not just a beautiful design, but a successful product.
With him, creative excellence at luxury level is a given. But his technical and commercial awareness means he also gives careful consideration to key aspects such as value engineering, margin awareness, or impact on shelf.”

Thibaut Perrin-Faivre, Vice-President Fragrance and Retail Experience, Burberry.

“It’s housed in one of the most beautiful flacons I’ve seen in years”

Teo van den Broeke, GQ Style Director.
(On awarding the GQ 2021 Editor’s Award to Molton Brown Vetiver & Grapefruit EDP) .

“Aside from Vincent’s exceptional talent for designing luxury packaging, what sets him apart is how he makes his vision a reality, thanks to his understanding of the wider business.
We worked side by side with equal passion to overcome every challenge, big or small, resulting in a game-changing launch for the brand.
We had high expectations but even these were exceeded, from industry awards and accolades to commercial success.”

Katie Ellwood-Smith, Director of Global Brand Management, Molton Brown.
