Working mostly direct with SME clients on brand and creative strategy, consultancy, concept, art direction and design, as well as some agency freelance thrown into the mix. Nice to work on a range of clients and sectors from Blue chips to small independents, charities and record labels. Art and music production on the side too.

All good to co-own and run a small brand and design consultancy. We specialised in developing creative brands, strategies, campaigns, digital and design communication for businesses across a wide range of sizes and sectors. Our tailored, insight-led, strategic approach constantly led to the best solutions and results for clients, who we build great relationships with. Still all good friends today.
