I offer bespoke treatment writing and design
Here you’ll find a selection of treatments, documents, and decks I’ve written for film, theatre, and branded content. Each reflects my focus on elegance, clarity, and storytelling, helping ideas come to life on the page whilst inspiring collaborators. A mix of projects where I focused on copy, to fully designed documents where I handled everything from fonts to hand-made design elements. Some samples are anonymised to protect client confidentiality.

Featured project: The Sick Rose
In this fascinating collaboration between photographer Sebastian Nevols and make-up artist Victoria Poland, the brief was for a design language that honoured anatomical illustration with a modern editorial sensibility. I answered this by crafting hand-drawn motifs inspired by Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, pairing them with a refined typographic system and clean grid. I wrote and structured the narrative, designed the full document, and selected bespoke fonts to deepen the editorial voice, resulting in a cohesive piece that feels both historically grounded and contemporary.

His creative insights and attention to detail elevate every project we work on. Our treatments are consistently praised by art directors as some of the best they’ve seen, which is a testament to Doug’s exceptional talent and vision."

IntoNetZero Investor’s Deck
This not-for-profit has big plans and need the budget to achieve them. They came to me with basic brand assets and asked for an investor’s deck with a look and feel that felt contemporary, cinematic, and cool. In the short time I worked with them I enhanced their logo by building in a little dynamism, did a quick copy edit and structure for flow and punch, took their brand colours and placed them into a design look and feel, plus backdrop of beautiful images I researched and sourced, that gives their brand the visual kudos it has already earned through its intelligence. The result is modern, punchy, and crystal clear. They’re going to do great things and I’m delighted to have been part of their journey.

From the outset of our conversation, I could tell with confidence that Doug 'got it'. That's such an invaluable talent when it comes to relating a message of change to wider audiences, some of whom may have varying degrees of resistance. Doug's work for IntoNetZero captured the creativity, the intention and the scope of what we are trying to achieve, and relayed all of that in succinct visual form. This has already translated into warm and excited responses from the corporate sector, but has also connected perfectly with the education/voluntary sector, an unusual skill to visually speak across such varied spaces! I would work with Doug again and again, and would recommend any organisations wanting to stand out from the crowd, and who want to work with someone who deeply cares about platforming change, to hire him NOW.
