About me

My name is John; I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in the picturesque mid Wales's county of Powys.

I have a degree in graphic design and have spent my time since graduation working on small commissions and a number of personal projects, one of which is a children's book.

The main body of my work has revolved around identity, branding and stationary design, although I have experience working within editorial and web.

I am very ambitious, and I don't like to restrict my thinking when approaching a project, I like to, where possible, to develop highly conceptual work that really challenges the consumer's perception of that product, and my view is that I am not trying to sell products, but create a way for the consumer to buy into their desired lifestyle, to indulge in their dreams.
