MICHAEL SOUTER, Branding/Implementation • Artist Collaborations/Curations • Painter

Michael Souter is a seasoned brand advisor and consultant with over 35 years of global experience in branding, design, and the arts. He provides his expertise in both full-time and fractional roles, with a focus on luxury and high-performance brands, as a creative director, art collaborator, and curator.

Michael’s painting career has been influenced by his frequent relocations, with each move adding new layers of inspiration. In San Francisco, he experimented with bold shapes and textures. Tokyo introduced large-scale pieces and the suppression of color by layering black and white paint over intense hues. In New York, he explored motion and symbolic language.

Michael has held faculty appointments at Ecole International in Geneva and California College of Art for both design and fine art.
