About me
Hi, I’m Brian Toomey — Designer & Art Director currently working remotely. Here’s just a select edit of work from my 16 years in the industry and an insight into my experience and style. After graduating with a BA Hons in Graphic Design in 2005, I landed an internship at New York agency Sagmeister Inc. — an experience that still informs the way I work today. While there, I also picked up an award from the Type Directors Club, who selected my work for typographic excellence, featured in the Annual Type Directors Club Exhibition 2007 and their publication, Typography 29. My work was credited in Stefan Sagmeister’s book ‘Things I’ve learned in my life so far.’ I’ve worked with clients of all sizes and from various sectors, both locally and internationally. Cities I’ve had the pleasure of working include London, Madrid, Málaga and NYC. My approach focuses on new forms of visual expression covering print, digital and branding, and art direction for photography and moving image. I pride myself in providing innovative, unique and original design solutions, adding real value to the brands I work with. In particular, I love being able to form long-term business relationships with all my clients, delivering design work that will deliver over and above expectations.
