“Replacing formulaic signifiers of luxury and glamour with intrigue and attitude.”
Tim is a Creative Director with a back catalogue covering monumental brands like adidas, Bang & Olufsen, and Nike, as well as a host of disruptive game-changers. He hasn’t restricted his outlook to branding - he crosses apparel, graphic and product design. He has also launched his own watch brand, which launched in the iconic London department store Liberty; and has co-created a fashion label that hit Selfridges, Harrods and Harvey Nichols in its launch year.
Tim spent his early career embedded in the luxury industry, but he isn’t an advocate for it. Feeling trapped by its staid, sometimes ostentatious aesthetics, Tim felt he was more aligned to helping brands that are fixated on shaping the future rather than living in the past. He established Fluoro, his own creative consultancy, in 2016. Fluoro.® is about replacing the formulaic signifiers of luxury and glamour with intrigue and attitude via esoteric and experimental design.

- JOHN LEWIS WINTER CAMPAIGNJohn Lewis, working with advertising agency Adam & Eve, approached Fluoro to create a campaign with a modern and experimental direction.

- WIT X ADIDAS – ADIPOWER 2The latest WIT x ADIDAS collaboration combines targeted foot support and stability to offer a new take on the original Adipower. As well as collaborating on the shoe design itself, we were commissioned to create the campaign to launch the Adipower 2.
