I've been designing for fifteen years. In that time I've worked with independent businesses, broadcasters, athletes, musicians and brands that are trying to do things differently.

The idea always comes before the aesthetic. My work spans brand identity, art direction, photography and film, whatever it takes to bring it to life.

Based in Cardiff, I work with clients across the UK and worldwide on branding, print, packaging and content creation. When a project needs more, I have a trusted network of illustrators, animators and copywriters to call on.

When I'm not designing I'm with my family, in the garden, skateboarding or playing golf (badly).

Always looking for the next interesting project. If that sounds like something we could do together, get in touch.
