Hello, and thanks so much for taking the time to have a look at my profile!
I’m a Glossop based creative with over 25 years experience in the design and advertising industry. With a considered and conceptual approach I specialise in art direction, design and artworking for both print and digital. In the Summer of 2023 I decided to scratch a long-held professional itch by getting into the TV and Film game as a graphic designer. And I’m delighted to say that so far it’s been an absolute blast, but I’m always keen to keep up the momentum and I've always got an eye out for my next gig...
There's a link to my website below, and if that piques your interest then please do drop me a line if there's anything you think I could get involved with. I'm available for freelance projects either in-house or remotely, and of course any leads, connections, recommendations or advice would be gratefully received!
Take it easy and I'll hopefully catch-up with a few of you good people soon...

- TV Action GraphicsAs far back as I can remember I always wanted to be {a gangster} an art dept graphic designer. So in the Summer of 2023 I decided to scratch a long-held professional itch by getting into that thing of theirs and giving it a go. And I’m delighted to say that so far it’s been a deal, a steal, and the decision of the f****** century! Starting prep in July 2023 and based at Arbeta in Manchester my first gig was a 4 x 60' drama called Toxic Town, that was produced by Broke & Bones for Netflix. We o
- Key Art \ Manchester International Festival 2017Working as part of the AKA North concept team and alongside Manchester based photographer Scott Kershaw, we were appointed to create a fresh and exciting lead image for the world premiere of "Party Skills for the End of the World" at MIF17. This incorporated a hurriedly dressed party goer and an eclectic array of objects that represented the fun and madness of the show, where guests were taught various skills to prepare themselves for the doomsday scenario at an epic party to end all parties.
- Rebrand \ Sanctum PeakAlongside the freelance projects I do for other people, I'm also sometime head of design at Manchester based digital agency Run2. A collection of like minded souls with a mission to do great work for great people. This is one of the many jobs we've done for our friends at Sanctum Peak, one of the world’s leading preventative health organisations and human performance specialists. They asked us for a complete rebrand, and as a business that helps their clients function at the very top of their
- Advertising Campaign \ NHSThis NHS alcohol awareness campaign was created to highlight the Section 141 Licensing Act which states that it’s against the law for bar staff to sell alcohol to anyone who is already drunk. The familiar landlords cry of "Time Please!" together with the hand stop sign were combined to leave the viewer in no doubt about the intended message, and the yellow and black colour scheme was used as a deliberate nod to the hazard warning signs which seem so prevalent in most public areas. The creat
- Whitepaper \ Dell TechnologiesI was approached by Dell Technologies to produce the creative for their whitepaper collaboration with the Oxford AI Society, documenting 10 chosen brainstorm ideas of how new artificial intelligence could impact upon the current and post-covid workplace. Working alongside the Oxford AI brainstorm team I produced both printed and online collateral which highlighted recommendations set out by the society and sought to achieve their vision of work redefined. One where a balance of remote and office
- Key Art \ Various ClientsI love working on these type of projects, they're always a good excuse to have a bit of fun and explore my more "arty-farty" side! Of course, there's always a brief to be answered and the placement of stuff like dates, prices and contact details needs to be thought about, but in the main these are the ones that give me the most creative freedom. And who wants to look at a boring old theatre poster anyway? The Seagull and The Christmas Truce were created and illustrated by yours truly, Baskervi
