McGilvray brings with him a wealth of experience in brand transformation and creative coaching, having spent nearly a decade at international brand consultancy, Wolff Olins, where he held the position of Creative Director. Whilst there, he worked with clients such as Qatar Museums to define the cultural vision for the country and region and, closer to home, the National Lottery, to shape how the iconic brand would change another generation of lives.


Within Wolff Olins, McGilvray also acted as a coach for the internal design community, overseeing the development and growth of over 40 creatives. This entailed not only setting the strategic ambition for the community but also ensuring their environment was such that they were able to consistently produce industry-leading creative work.


McGilvray first began to hone his craft at the award-winning design studio Browns and has most recently led the creative teams at digitally minded graphic design firm, MultiAdaptor.
