About me

Hello. I'm Chris, an ideas-driven, strategic creative designer.

I believe in the power of storytelling to build dynamic brands, campaigns and content that engage your target audience and deliver proven results. I love getting my hands dirty on every aspect of the design process, and particularly enjoy knowledge sharing, mentoring and collaboration with other creative disciplines. Well established businesses or exciting new start-ups, I have worked across the board to create brand identity, websites, digital campaigns, e-commerce, print, exhibition, presentations, events, illustrations and animations.

For over 18 years I've worked with small agencies and SME clients to large studios on global brands, and I've extensive experience across a wide range of sectors for both B2B and B2C, including; FMCG, fashion, beauty and wellness, energy, healthcare communications and sports nutrition.

Some brands I have worked with include: Nestlé, Gillette, Homebase, Dulux, Coca-Cola, Nike, Clarks, Neal's Yard Remedies, Procter & Gamble, Astra Zeneca, Roche and Sanofi.

What makes me tick: Being a dad. Being a drummer. Being an Evertonian. Beautiful poster design. Drawing. Discovering new music. Going to gigs. Interesting books. Interesting beers. Interesting food. Anything to do with space. Being by the sea.
