About Me

A creative brand & product designer, working in both print and digital.

Creating yesterday's tomorrows today.

With over a decade of industry experience, I am truly passionate about the creation of emotive brand experiences that connect people. As a designer, I believe that strategic design thinking and client collaboration are the key to creating memorable visual identities.

I have worked with companies of various sizes around the world, all with the aim of delivering design solutions that communicate & connect via the use of clear, consistent story telling. Design thinking is at the heart of how I work, asking the tough questions to clearly define not only what the client wants, but what they need.

My aim is to achieve visceral emotional responses from clients and their customers. To improve brand engagement, increase website traffic and convert customers into brand advocates.

Look a bit deeper and you'll realise that I'm just your typical geek. I love to learn new skills; dissecting how things work, so that I can recreate and adapt to suit my needs. Life is a journey where we never stop learning.

Marvel or DC? I say why not both.

Experience.

Education.

Sheffield Hallam University

MA Design - Branding

September 2010 - February 2012
I focused my attention on branding, specifically how it can be used to change perceptions and build customer relationships. Two concepts of particular interest were place branding and the building of a brand identity without a logo.
University of Hull

PGCE - Teaching Ages 14+

September 2009 - May 2010
Passing on my knowledge and experience has always been something I wanted to do at some point in my career, whether as a lecturer or as a lead designer. This post-graduate course taught me a lot about himself, as well as the ins and outs of teaching to various styles of learning.
University of Hull

BA (Hons) Visual Communication

September 2006 - May 2009
I learnt the basic rules of visual design, including the use of effective typography, imagery, editorial layouts and logo design. I developed from a fine art student into a designer as I progressed through the course.
Doncaster College

National Diploma Art & Design

September 2004 - May 2006
Straight out of school I wanted to learn all I could about art & design. My focus evolved as I progressed through the course, developing a greater interest in graphic design towards the end.
