About me

With [very nearly] 25 years of experience as a practising graphic designer and art director and a particular interest in visual identity and typography, I have developed a clear and adaptable understanding of graphic design and how it can make everything more enjoyable and beautiful.

I also mentor (remotely & locally) and run a community called TheSYDF from our studio in Shrewsbury town centre.
