The appointment of Paul Franklin as Heavenly’s Deputy Creative Director will see the reinstatement of his creative partnership with Martin Lambie-Nairn.

Paul will report directly to Martin, providing a dynamic complement to him that will drive Heavenly’s creative output.

Paul, who has an extensive freelance portfolio, worked at Lambie-Nairn with Martin and was Creative Director on numerous projects with him, including projects for the BBC and a full rebrand of Abu Dhabi TV. His time with the WPP subsidiary also included directing work on Swiss Telco –Sunrise, O2 and EA Games. Prior to this, Paul was Lead Senior Designer for the Nokia Design Brand Team where his work included harmonising their global identity.

Martin, commenting on Paul’s appointment said: “I am delighted to be working with Paul again. He is one of the most talented and inspirational designers that I have ever worked with. His vision, insight and creativity will add real value to Heavenly and our clients and his appointment is a further sign of our commitment to create great design.”
