I currently work for a large promotional merchandise company in London, mainly for their charity division and have worked with many clients including Topman, RSPB, Teenage Cancer Trust, BBC Children In Need, and Deutsche Bank.
One of my favourite clients that I have had the pleasure of working with is RSPB. I have been drawing and setting up their artworks for their bird pin badges for over 12 years now, and have probably produced over 250 designs for them and their international partners., helping them raise more then £1 million pounds through the sale of those badges. I am pretty much known as the birdman at work.
When I am not being a designer, I am also a dad to three beautiful little girls, so when I am not thinking about new creative designs, I can be found trying to entertain them all, which is just as hard.
Projects
- Cycle Jersey DesignsWhile working with The Charity Clothing Company, I was tasked with designing custom made Cycle Jerseys for many different clients, mainly charities, ranging from working from brand guidelines or just coming up with the design ideas myself, from just researching the clients website and finding out about what they do.
- RSPB Pin Badge designsI have worked with the RSPB now for more than 18 years designing their famous bird badges that they sell to help raise funds for the charity. So far this has helped them raise well over £1 million pounds and I have probably illustrated more than 500 bird, mammals and marine life for them and their partner charities. It is something that I am proud to be a part of and the client is always grateful for what I do for them, which makes it a pleasure to work with them.
