Hi, I’m Ed.
Founding partner and creative lead at Canvas Collective. An agency focused on developing properties, concepts + brands for independent hoteliers. We partner with operators, investors, asset managers and private clients to ensure strategic alignment between vision, commercials and creative.
We work upstream of deploying capital for both new acquisitions and asset repositioning projects, offering a truly end-to-end service through ideation, development and (re)launch.
From time to time, I take on hospitality-adjacent projects and non-executive roles for ambitious companies and entrepreneurs looking to improve their brand’s reputation, culture and experience.
I live and work from my farmhouse in Mallorca, connected to the great outdoors and enjoying a simpler, more grounded life than would ever have been possible in London.
Whether on the island or on the road visiting projects and clients, I’m inspired by a life connected to natural and urban landscapes, and motivated by how hospitality has the power to offer human and cultural connection to a world that needs both more than ever.
My Substack, The Single Shot is a fully caffeinated collection of opinions. Organised, in part, around the themes of hospitality, leadership and quality of life. But spilling occasionally into a saucer of topics that pique my interest. Served up strong. Sugar on the side.
