I’m Sally Wanless, a creative director, visual storyteller, and brand strategist who blends artistry and strategy to shape work that connects, resonates, and inspires. My career spans photography, design, illustration, art direction, and brand consultancy, driven by curiosity, craft, and the belief that creativity is most powerful when it’s both thoughtful and human.
I began as a photographer, pitching projects at 19 to Marriott Hotels in the U.S., and my work has since been exhibited internationally — including Times Square, Art Basel Miami, and the Louvre — and acquired by companies like Breather Inc. Over the years, I’ve explored a wide spectrum of creative practice: from wallpaper design and editorial projects to installations, podcast production, and brand collaborations.
Alongside my artistic work, I’ve partnered with clients across industries — including Universal Television — helping organisations translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives through brand strategy, visual storytelling, and creative direction. I approach every project as an opportunity to bring artistry and strategy together — whether behind the camera, at the drawing table, or guiding a larger creative team.
Nothing is off the table: photography, illustration, design, or strategy all feed into the work I do. I’m always open to collaborations and challenges that expand the space where ideas meet execution, and to opportunities that allow me to bring my full creative perspective to new experiences, projects, and brands.
