About me

As a Graphic Designer with over two decades of top level experience under my belt, I am delighted to introduce myself and my work to you. Welcome to Good Egg Creative Communications. I pride myself on delivering work of the very highest calibre. During a career that has spanned the very top end of the design, marketing and publishing industries in the creative cutting edge hubs of London, Manchester, and Nottingham, I have consistently delivered first class projects for clients across a vast variety of backgrounds. Good Egg Creative offers a premium quality, award winning graphic design service, combined with an old fashioned friendly, and positive approach to work based on honesty, flexibility, trustworthiness, and damn hard graft. Hey, I'm from the East Midlands - its what we do! So if you're looking for an expert eye and razor sharp skills to take care of your branding, design and marketing materials - I'd encourage you to get in touch so we can get cracking, hatch a plan - and bring your business out of its shell. (See what I did there?). :-) I'll very much look forward to hearing from you. Darren James Higginbottom Graphic Designer / Free Range Thinker / All round Good Egg
