Craig is the longest-serving member of the Casson Mann family, having started at the company immediately after graduation from the Royal College of Art, while developing his own projects in parallel. All best wishes to you, Craig as you begin this new chapter!

For Casson Mann, it is almost impossible to imagine life without Craig, particularly as we consider his milestone projects, such as Lascaux, Cité de la Gastronomie, the Endeavour Galleries at the National Maritime Museum and the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge in Canterbury. Most recently, Craig has led the transformation of the Musée National de La Marine in Paris, which we are delighted to say he will continue to oversee until it opens in November 2023.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Craig over the years will recognise the creative talent he brings to every project - his inspirational designs, expressed through beautiful drawings and models, his mix of intelligence and playfulness.  Casson Mann will miss his enthusiasm, commitment, good humour - and unique way with a post-it note.  

“it’s been a great pleasure. I’m proud to have been a part of this - building the practice into what it is today and to have grown up within a company that has become a leader in its field.  

Casson Mann’s restlessness for innovation - never shying away from unexplored territory - has rubbed off on me. With that same spirit, I have taken the decision to branch out. We have imagined studioRILEY as a scouting mission from the mothership, seeking new kinds of adventure in design excellence - for beautifully crafted rich sensory storytelling experiences.”
