more than just colouring in…

For over a decade I’ve worked on projects to rebrand some of the UKs biggest companies and delivered a broad range of creative marketing including viral football mascots, exhibition stands with hot air balloons and cryptocurrency exchange apps. People like working with me because I engage with them in a collaborative process. I’ll take on-board any brief and have the discussion to discover what we can do together. I’ll be on-board with your vision from day one but sometimes I’ll challenge you to achieve it, presenting different approaches, new ideas and innovative options.

I craft systems and stories that stick with people, in a way that authentically connects with them. I want people to be able to picture the brand in-context from multiple aspects. If I show you a boiler with legs running around, you’ll remember it. If I show you a blasphemous bakery, you’ll remember it. It’s building these memorable personalities that define the brand and stick with people past the purchase or initial interaction and they are built up of colours, fonts, images, styling, wording and typography.

I not only deliver my own creative work on time, on brief and on budget, but I also have the experience and know how to bring the idea into the real world. I have a broad network of partners that mean our ideas can become developed apps and websites, printed brochures, placed adverts, distributed leaflets, pasted billboards, installed signage and built exhibitions. I’ve always been the last one at their desk, the one that knows the cleaners and security team, the one with the keys and alarm codes to ‘lock up when you’re done’. I can be your back up to get the urgent jobs over the line even if it means ‘pulling an all nighter’. I work flexibly to suit you and your needs.

Previously I have worked in-house and in agencies developing a real depth and breadth of experience. Working with amazing colleagues and clients on Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 brands, tech start-ups and SMEs, all across a wide range of industries including pharmaceuticals, renewables, manufacturing and finance. I can be your second wind, your extra string or your 12th man. I know from my time leading busy studios, sometimes there are not enough hours in a day. You need to know someone that can pick up where you left off and deliver work to your high standards. I can quickly learn your brands visual language and adopt your workflows and methods, which means I can seamlessly join your team through busy periods and hit the bench when things are under control.
