Chase Design Group Strengthens Western Europe Footprint with Bristol, UK Office Expansion and Senior Promotions

19th January 2026

Chase Design Group is expanding its Western European presence with a move to a larger space in Bristol, UK, and the promotion of key leaders who will guide the agency’s continued growth and partnerships across the region.

Chase Design Group is an independent creative agency with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and the UK, with expertise across brand strategy, identity development, package design, and retail environments.

Shannon Osment has been promoted from Director of Accounts to Managing Director, Chase Design Group. Shannon began her career in Chase Design Group’s Los Angeles office in 2004, and single-handedly established its UK presence in 2017. With 20 years of experience in brand identity and consumer packaged goods, she has led teams in transforming global brands such as Procter & Gamble, L’Oréal, and Unilever. Passionate about people and driven by curiosity, Shannon finds fulfillment in building both strong brands and strong teams as she now leads the studio and mentors emerging talent.

Pete Hawkins, who joined Shannon in the UK office in 2018, has been promoted from Creative Director to Group Creative Director. He brings over 20 years of experience across many sectors, from banks to beers, while his approach blends strategic design thinking, original creative ideas, and meticulous craft to deliver impactful, intelligent solutions. He thrives on building strong, open partnerships with clients and creative teams alike, believing that the best work emerges from shared vision, curiosity, and trust.

With a team that has grown to 15 people, the new, expanded office is closer to the city of Bristol and is focused on growth across Western Europe.

According to Chris Lowery, CEO, Chase Design Group, “In addition to their new global responsibilities, we welcome Shannon and Pete’s cross-studio leadership voices as they help us grow and expand into new territories.”
