HEAD HONCHO…
THE DUDE IN THE CHAIR.
YOU CAN CALL ME AL
Hello…I run the studio here in Stirling.
I’m a design loving, guitar slinging, paisley rocking graphic designer from Edinburgh – living and working in Stirling for over a decade and designing for nearly twenty years! Ooft, I’m so old I remember using Netscape Navigator and MSN Messenger, whilst trying to update my MySpace page (google it, kids).
When I’m not creating, you’ll occasionally find me playing loud guitar in my psychedelic blues band and wearing even louder shirts!
Drop me a line if you’d like to chat aboutJimi Hendrix your next project.

Sometimes you get lucky in life and that’s what happened when we discovered Nettl in Stirling! We would 100% recommend Alan for any business in need of a digital marketing wizard to help promote you.When we were setting up our new development business we had lots of vague ideas about what we wanted to achieve but no idea how to refine them and piece them all together. However Alan took the time to understand our business, what we needed and how we might achieve that before using his extensive creative skills and expertise to produce a superb professional identity for us. We now have a beautiful intuitive website with distinctive branding and a range of stunning promotional brochures & flyers printed in quality high definition. It was an unexpected bonus to discover Alan is a talented artist too and it’s very special to have a gorgeous watercolour interpretation of a photograph now featured in our brochure. Alan & Satchmo the Wonderdog are the perfect team... Alan offers a unique blend of creative talent, extensive knowledge of digital marketing and the ability to intuitively interpret sketchy ideas, hopes and dreams! Satchmo meanwhile brightens your day with his effusive welcome and delight at being in your company!read more

My experience with Nettl of Stirling has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I recently started a business and was very clear on our values and purpose but I didn't know how to translate this into our branding. Alan came up with brilliant designs based on my descriptions of the business and culture, and the results were even better than I could have imagined. Alan also created a website that we absolutely love, it has great functionality, looks fantastic and is very user friendly. I can highly recommend Nettl of Stirling, and I will not hesitate in using them again for all our future design / branding projects.read more
