Hi I'm Simon! I am a highly creative designer and illustrator working in London. I have been lucky enough to work on a variety of projects ranging from creating custom illustrations for the Premier League and BP to designing a new brand for the International Paralympic Committee.
I love design and everything about it and love sharing my passion with other creatives and clients.
