Young Designer of the Year

Company

Summary

Amy O’Neill is a multi-talented designer whose work this year at Pim-Pam has been defined by bold ideas, sharp execution, and a distinctive creative voice. She brings clarity, confidence, and care to every brief—balancing strategic thinking with a joyful, expressive visual approach.

Amy has played a major role across a wide range of projects, including global drinks brands like The Macallan and Brugal, as well as national sport clients like sportscotland and Team Scotland. Among Amy’s many standout contributions to our studio, her leadership and passion in shaping the design direction for Mangoes to Lagos — a collaboration between Brixton Brewery and Bature Brewery — has truly established her creative and strategic strengths.

On Mangoes to Lagos, Amy led the creative process from the ground up. She developed the visual concept and identity system for the project and produced a vibrant suite of assets that spanned packaging, merchandise, pop-up activations, and digital rollout. While supported by the broader studio in delivery, the core creative push, visual direction, and execution of the campaign were led by Amy — showcasing her ability to own a brief, collaborate effectively, and craft something with lasting impact.
Her skill lies in the seamless way she moves between concept and craft — pairing visual experimentation with meticulous attention to detail. Whether shaping the expressive tone of a campaign or strategically planning creative rollouts, Amy brings fresh thinking and follow-through to every project.

That versatility is evident in her broader contributions this year:

– She led the design of the Bature Brewery Tapheads, now a key part of the brand’s identity across Lagos — unique, character-led Point of Sale items that reflect Amy’s playful yet considered approach to branding and physical design.

– She was key in the development of Dear Green Coffee’s festive packaging and campaign assets, bringing warmth and clarity to the seasonal range.

– She provided art direction support across multiple photoshoots, both in the UK and internationally, helping shape the look and feel of branded content through concept, styling ideas, and design.

– Amy has contributed to mural design development, extending brand storytelling into large-scale and immersive formats. From product launches for Brugal's Colección Visionaria Edición 02 and Andrés Brugal Edition 02, through to Bature Brewery's Felabration 2024 Look and Laugh concept and continued campaign and product launches in West Africa.

– She also plays a key role in website design and development at Pim-Pam, working confidently in Umbraco to build, design, and manage websites for a variety of clients — ensuring design integrity carries through to digital experiences with usability and brand consistency in mind.

Amy’s work is always intelligent, grounded, and full of character — combining strategic clarity with expressive execution. She’s become an essential part of the creative process at Pim-Pam, and a standout young designer whose impact is already widely felt.

Reason for nomination

Amy O’Neill stands out as one of the most dedicated, capable, and inspiring young designers we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Her design skills are matched by a real sense of care, a strong work ethic, and a thoughtful, collaborative approach that consistently lifts the work of those around her. She doesn’t just deliver great design—she brings energy, consistency, and quiet leadership to every stage of a project. Amy takes on briefs with both passion and precision. She asks the right questions, considers the wider context, and works with integrity from concept to final output. She’s someone we can rely on completely—always going the extra mile to get things right, to push ideas further, and to make sure the work doesn’t just look good, but communicates clearly and effectively. What sets Amy apart is her ability to combine big-picture creative thinking with attention to detail, and to do so with calm confidence. She contributes strong ideas independently, while always remaining open to feedback and collaboration.
