About

Charlie Smith is a true explorer at heart. As a designer and cold weather adventurer, he has a passion for pushing boundaries and heading into the world's most frozen and hostile environments. With extensive experience leading expeditions across the Arctic, including dog-sledding across Scandinavia and exploring Iceland and Greenland, he has developed a wealth of knowledge and expertise in his field.

With a passion for exploration and a drive to constantly push boundaries, Charlie has been named one of 'The New Shackletons: Britain's Next Generation of Explorers' by Gentleman's Journal, Wired for Adventure's 'Most Inspiring Young Explorers' and as one of the Top 10 Next Generation of Explorers identified by British Airways High Life magazine. He has collaborated with some of the world's leading outdoor brands, such as Arc'teryx, Land Rover, and The North Face, to develop and test cutting-edge equipment that helps him and his team survive and thrive in the most extreme conditions.

But Charlie is not just an explorer - he is also a visionary designer and creative consultant, bringing his unique insights and ground-breaking consulting to various expeditions and adventures. With his keen eye for detail and an unwavering focus on creating exceptional user experiences, Charlie has been helping brands like Arc'teryx, Fulfil Nutrition, and more tell their stories and develop their products.

Charlie believes that modern explorers have a crucial role to play in telling the stories of our changing planet and creating a lasting record of what the world is like in the face of climate change. His upcoming personal projects aim to do just that by pushing the limits of both his equipment and himself to capture the essence of our changing world.
