my graphic design and creative services

creative services i offer

Having worked with clients, both in marketing teams and design agencies, I have 9 years of experience as a graphic designer. I’m fortunate enough to have had a varied career where I’ve learnt what I’m most passionate about:

  • Crafting a beautiful logo and brand identity system
  • Working on animations that take your ideas to the next level
  • Creating clever, but simple visual concepts for large or small marketing campaigns
  • Producing well thought on and engaging web designs.

I’m passionate about highlighting an aspect of your business that is a real undervalued part of your brand. Equally, I enjoy pulling a really valuable idea from a brief to get the idea across for a particular concept.

I can work one to one with clients, and I’m also able to integrate into your marketing or design agency with enthusiasm should you need a pair of hands for a particular deadline or just generally busy period.

A popular choice for businesses is working with an agency that offers a one-stop-shop approach, but you’ll quite often have several points of contact and be one of many projects or clients being worked on.

With myself, I’m passionate about providing a personal service to you and forming partnerships, not just chasing quick jobs to get paid.

Having worked with entrepreneurs, tech and not-for-profit organisations, I am able to provide creative advice in past successes in those areas. I offer a new perspective and understanding of my clients’ problems.

Process

My process is to sit down with you to discover your challenges as a business, what you want to achieve, your target audience and discuss your requirements in more detail. I’ll then provide a quotation based on our discussion with clear deliverables from me and a timeframe of how the project will run, along with any considerations or advice I’d give to the particular project.

We’ll have regular reviews at the initial concept stage, during the design, as well as at the stage of rolling out the design. I also like to check in afterwards, just to see how the project was received.

What’s in it for you?

  • My advice, experience and skill from studying and working in the design industry, and to the specific industries of entrepreneurial, tech and not-for-proft spaces
  • Understanding the risk to your reputation and company image, and maintaining that successfully
  • Knowledge of how to appeal to your ideal target audience
  • Providing a tailored and personal approach to you, not just using a templated design that lacks any personality.

He was a fantastic member of the marketing team, but also a valued member of the wider company - so much so that he won company awards in two separate years for the support he provided to his colleagues.”

Jonathan DolbyHead of Marketing, Microlise

“Ben is a talented and extremely hard working designer. His work never fails to deliver impact and is sure to convey sometimes complex messages in a simple and aesthetically pleasing way. A trusted and safe pair of hands, Ben can take a simple brief and skilfully convert it into an engaging concept.”

Martyn GettingsHead of PR, Tank

“Ben designed a headwear garmet that we proudly wear during our activities. He took our brief professionally and made sure the scarf design was creative and also showed off our brand. We had several hundred of the neck-scarves printed, all ready for the coming season, so we'd like to thank him for his help on that.”
