Our journey began with a passion for storytelling. Originally operating as a video production company, specializing in crafting captivating social content.

Hey There! I'm Dale the founder of Croft.
Born in New Jersey of immigrant parents and later raised in Scotland, (with a stint in Toronto & Stuttgart) I've spent my life as bit of an outsider; Fitting in to new cultures and understanding where people come from, how they think and what makes them passionate, although challenging, has become a bit of a superpower!
It's a practice I've done on a daily basis subconsciously since moving continents at 10 years old. This philosophy has been key to all my work: understanding people and why they care.
Croft really kicked off and was relaunched after I got made redundant from my dream job, two weeks before I was set to move into my first home! On one hand an absolute rug pull, on the other an opportunity to finally bring to life the business I had in my heart for years. Bringing together
all the experience from throughout my career, Croft was formed.
