The Creative Studio Behind Your Highland Brand

Curious Pixels was built on a simple idea: that businesses across Nairn, Inverness and the Scottish Highlands deserve the same quality of creative work that larger city agencies charge a fortune for — without the layers, the handoffs, the delays, or the inflated invoices that come with them.

I am Paul, the one person behind everything Curious Pixels produces. I have spent years working across branding, web design, digital strategy, photography, video and social media — and in that time I have worked with businesses of every size, from ambitious startups launching for the first time to established Highland brands looking to refresh their identity and grow their digital presence.

What I noticed, over and over again, was that small and medium-sized businesses were being let down by the creative industry. Either they were paying agency prices for work that got passed off to a junior who had never spoken to them, or they were cobbling together services from five different suppliers who had no idea what each other were doing. The result was always the same — inconsistency, frustration, and work that did not quite land.

Curious Pixels exists to fix that. Based in Nairn and working with clients across Inverness, Forres, Elgin, Aviemore, Dingwall and the wider Highlands, I offer the full range of creative and digital services a growing business needs — all from one person, under one roof, with one consistent point of contact throughout.

I handle brand identity and logo design, web design and SEO, social media management, photography, and video production and drone filming. I am also a CAA registered drone operator with a Flyer ID and A2 Certificate of Competency, which means I can offer aerial and drone footage legally and safely for commercial clients across the Highlands.

For businesses who want ongoing creative support without the hassle of kicking off a new project every time something is needed, Pixel+ is my monthly retainer — a fixed monthly fee that gives you access to the full range of services, from someone who already knows your brand inside out.

Every project I take on — whether it is a logo for a new cafe in Nairn, a website for a trades business in Inverness, a drone shoot for a holiday let in Aviemore, or a full social media takeover for a retailer in Elgin — gets the same level of care, strategic thinking, and attention to detail. Because there is no one else here to pass the blame to, the standard is always high. That is not a line. It is just how a one-person studio works.
