December One to Watch: Boxx Creative


Boxx Creative, a London-based creative consultancy is our December One to Watch


Words by Sophie Tolhurst

Who
Boxx Creative is a multi-award-winning London-based creative consultancy. Established in 2017 by Nicola Lindsell and Nicola Keenan it specialises in global projects for hospitality, leisure, retail and workplace clients. Recent projects include bars, restaurants, a luxury boutique hotel, a coffee shop and roastery, a health food retail store and a co-working space. Lindsell and Keenan describe themselves as ‘proactive and purposeful’, and ‘consciously create’ according to their values – they do not believe in designing for design’s sake, and say ‘it is the responsibility of designers to make a difference for society and the planet by choosing carefully what and how we create, as well as the materials, processes and products we use’.

Why
Prior to establishing Boxx Creative, Lindsell and Keenan worked for leading design studios, although both began their careers in business and finance. After meeting on a design project they joined forces to provide ‘a one-stop-shop for creative services’. This covers interiors, branding, and product design as well as marketing and strategy, tailored for each project and client. Included in that offer is their business acumen, which they describe as hugely beneficial for working with clients who are often entrepreneurs; Boxx Creative understands their priorities and as such can approach the projects both creatively and commercially. To sum it up: ‘We work collaboratively with forward-thinking clients who share our purpose and values, and care about sustainability, minimising waste, and have an appreciation for outstanding design, as well as a desire to accomplish amazing results.’
