About Oliver Newberry

I'm an independent designer working with clients and studios in the UK and Austria, focusing on design services that encompass a complete brand overview, from initial sketch concept, visualisation, and prototyping to production, and include overseeing on-site manufacturing and implementation.

I bring products and retail spaces to life through holistic and meaningful design principles. Since graduating from Central Saint Martins, I've gained over 20 years of experience in design development, project management and retail design. I have delivered award-winning work for studios and clients across luxury retail, visual merchandising, the airline industry and EV charging infrastructure.

My passion is creating sustainable design solutions that add value and joy for clients and enhance the customer experience. Key projects include the design strategy for the first BP Pulse EV charging stations throughout the UK, sustainable tableware and packaging for the DO & CO Group, the 2026 retail activation rollout campaign for Škoda, implementation drawings for six Ankerbrot stores in Vienna, and global visual merchandising rollouts spanning 30+ locations for La Prairie and 42 for Burberry.
