Hey, I’m Will! Being creative is what I’m here to do. As a full-service creative freelancer, I have over 8+ years of experience across a huge range of medias, platforms, businesses and industries.
So whatever it is you’re looking for some creative support with, take a look around, ask me anything, and let’s create something!
Projects
- Brand & Design | Hull Business Energy Efficiency SchemeThe ask... Hull City Council were looking to launch a scheme that supported local SME’s with a lump sum of money to update their business equipment/facilities to more energy efficient alternatives. The challenge... The scheme was completely new and had no prior promotion, so generating a trusted brand look that engaged business owners immediately to act with the scheme before it’s end date was a significant priority.
- Rebrand | Kingston Cobras Ice Hockey TeamThe ask... Kingston Cobra Ice Hockey team reached out for a much needed rebrand. One that brought their iconic Cobra in-line with the styling of their American counter-parts. The challenge... The American sports style is very unique, so to create this new concept, the logo had to be designed from the ground up. Numerous pencil sketches, vector shapes, and snake research later, the concept was born.
