ABOUT
I’m Elliott Dalrymple, a Fractional Creative Director and Digital Transformation Consultant, guided by one principle: “Design is empathy. Leadership is a service.”
For larger organisations I build design maturity, branding and in-house creative capacity, the kind that lets them tell their own stories, educate their audiences and communicate with impact. That work spans policy, enterprise infrastructure and emerging AI tools. It has taken me through insourcing and upskilling for UK central government, recognised with the 2024 Civil Service Commissioners’ Mark of Excellence, and leadership roles at Imperial College, King’s College London and Avado Learning.
Where the need is direction rather than a studio, I offer AI coaching and creative strategy alongside my digital services.
Outside work I snorkel with my family (and recently earned my RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling certificate), write (I’m revisiting some old scripts), and spend my time on blaxploitation cinema and philosophy.
"Elliott is an inspiring leader and a deep thinker. He is fantastic at putting together a compelling vision and then rallying a team around it"
