Trust is earned through impact, collaboration, and leadership. These are the voices of people I've worked with.

  • “During Paul’s time as Creative Director at Sage, he proved to be a creative powerhouse with visionary strategies and ability to translate ideas into creative concepts. His strategic mindset and commitment to excellence were evident in every project he led. Paul would be a valuable asset to any organisation seeking a creative leader who is passionate about design, can drive innovation and deliver results.”

    Amanda Francoeur - Creative Director - Sage

    “I had the pleasure of working with Paul at Sage, where he served as the Creative Director. Paul's impact on our team was transformative, bringing fresh thinking and creative leadership that was deeply needed in our large corporate environment.

    Under Paul’s direction, we successfully launched a comprehensive design system and introduced a vibrant illustration dimension to our projects, enhancing the visual and functional aspects of our work. His innovative approach not only enriched our creative outputs but also contributed directly to significant e-commerce uplifts. Thanks to his efforts, we saw an overall step-change in the performance and user experience of the Sage.com platform.

    Paul is a visionary yet down-to-earth leader whose ability to inspire his team and drive substantial business results sets him apart. Grab him if he is available!”

    Carlos Pi - Product Design Lead - Sage

    “Working alongside Paul during his time at Sage was truly transformative. Paul's role as a Creative Director extended far beyond expectations. His leadership not only shaped the creative direction of our projects but he also fostered an environment where innovation thrived.

    Paul's strategic insight and visionary thinking were evident in every project we worked on. His ability to inspire and challenge design practices pushed our team to new heights, consistently delivering work beyond expectations. What sets Paul apart is his rare blend of artistic talent and organisational prowess. His attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our projects was executed with precision and on time.

    One of the most impactful decisions Paul made was to invest in internal talent rather than outsourcing. This shift not only led to the establishment of an illustration department but also opened doors for my professional growth. By hiring me full-time as an illustrator, Paul provided me with a platform to showcase my skills and pursue my passion on a full-time basis—a feat that many illustrators struggle to attain.”

    Michelle Hird - Senior Illustrator - Sage

    “Paul is one of the most creative and talented designers I have had the pleasure of working with. He has a knack of realising ideas far better than you could have imagined, and manages to turn around beautiful, imaginative and original designs at incredible speed.”

    Paul Turner - Product Design Lead - Comic Relief

    “A few things you should know about Robinson. Paul has an artists eye for detail and can create beautiful, powerful and playful designs. He gets how people engage with the world, how to keep them captivated and enlighten them with innovative ideas. Above all he is reliable chap and fun to work with.”

    Stuart Hallybone - Creative Director - Grand Union

    “I worked with Paul back in 2006 when he joined Tribal DDB as a Junior Designer. Coming from much more of an artistic background, he was a true breath of fresh air. Paul has always been an inspiration to me. He's the only person I know who can jump seamlessly between the freely expressive fine art world, and the highly restrictive commercial creative industry.”

    Pete Williams - Senior Creative Director - Tribal DDB

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Paul at TravelSupermarket, where he served as the Head of Creative & UX. During our collaboration, I was responsible for building prototypes, and Paul consistently demonstrated an extraordinary openness to new ideas. His enthusiasm for innovation significantly enhanced our projects, allowing us to explore cutting-edge solutions that pushed the boundaries of what we could achieve.

    His vision and dedication to excellence have left a lasting impression on me, and I am confident that his creative leadership will continue to drive success wherever his career may take him.”

    Will Jutsum - Principle Engineer - Travel Supermarket

    “Paul is a dynamic Creative Director as well as a strategic thinker who understands the importance of aligning design with business objectives. His design thinking reaches across an entire product suite and realises the impact every creative decision has, from the aesthetics to the UX, with the target audience in mind.

    As a developer working with Paul, I appreciated his ability to adapt and desire to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical implementation. He worked collaboratively with development to achieve high creative and design standards that elevate the brand and serve the audience.”

    Byron Manly - Senior Developer & Creative Coder - Travel Supermarket

  • “Paul brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise. He is an enormously talented Creative & Product Director that can pick up and develop the weakest of briefs and turn campaigns from mediocre to outstanding. His attention to detail and ability to absorb our brand proposition into what he created and produced has been exceptional. I have not met many creatives that can bring such a clarity to a message with such natural ability.

    He joined us on a contract basis charged with redesigning our retail web offerings as well as moving forward our brand proposition. In addition, he also worked on our global campaigns, bringing structure and clarity to our media be it off or online all of which he successfully achieved.

    He works very effectively with other creative, tech and web development team members and is always willing to lend a hand educating and suggesting alternative ways of doing things. Incredibly passionate about what he does, he will be a great asset to any creative team.”

    Wil Lynch - SVP Product Director - CMC Markets & Travel Supermarket

    “Working with Paul on the Shell account was a career highlight. He is an outstanding Creative Director with the rare ability to balance visionary thinking with practical execution. The work we created together (though some years ago) remains some of the work I am most proud of. Paul constantly pushed the boundaries of digital design and technology, encouraging the team to innovate and deliver beyond expectations. His leadership, creativity, and collaborative spirit made the process inspiring as well as successful.”

    Howard Scott - Head Of Digital - The Marketing Store

  • “Paul is extremely talented and very focussed. I would totally recommend him for any design work.”

    Bill Griffin - Founder - Crowd Wish

    “Paul has a very original creative vision that always shines through in his work, but he combines this with a totally reliable ability to respond to the brief in hand and to deliver on time and on many occasions early!! I have no hesitation in recommending Paul’s work.”

    Alice Thompson - Founder - Oxigen II

  • “I’ve worked with Paul several times over the last 10 years, helping him secure contract roles and supporting him in hiring for his own teams. In that time, I’ve seen just how talented he is... not only is he incredibly creative, but he truly understands a brand’s language on a deep level and knows how to bring it to life. On top of that, he’s a great manager, balancing creative vision with the ability to lead and inspire a team. He’s also a great guy, and I’ve always enjoyed working with him both professionally and socially. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and experienced design leader.”
