About me

Ruairi Madine is my full name - pronounced like brewery, but without the 'b'. Originally from Kent, currently residing in Brixton, London. I’m Ruairi Madine (pronounced like brewery, but without the ‘b’). I am a dynamic designer, communicator and lateral thinker who takes broad ideas and forms precise design in a variety of styles. I can take a narrative and communicate it in a diverse set of visual forms to a professional level. All whilst maintaining an acute and sensitive tone of understanding of your brief - bringing a bit of my personality to each project.
