Matthew Ringland Creative Ltd was incorporated on 16th October 2013.Serving the Leisure industry in a freelance capacity.I provide a wide range of creative services including, visitor attraction design, graphics, brand development, illustration, planning, interior design.

Working as a design consultant serving primarily the visitor/ heritage attraction/ theme park market. I specialise in masterplanning, brand development, implementation and graphics.My interest in many aspects of design has allowed me to work in many different fields and for a wide variety of clients, from new business just starting out to major 'Blue Chip' clients.I take an interest in 'guest' behaviour and in anything I design my thoughts are always focussed on the 'end user', the human being who pays the admission price and passes through the turnstile.I do not prescribe to over intellectualised design. For me anything should be designed intuitively, connect emotionally with the end user and BE PRACTICAL!

I started as Junior Designer and worked my way through the many ranks including Art Director for the Surrey based themepark, Thorpe Park' to Senior Design Director at the Tussauds Studios in West London.I worked on and developed attractions for many well known visitor attraction brands include Madame Tussauds, Heide Park and Alton Towers.I have been lead designer on themepark attractions such as Oblivion and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, 'The Ride' at Alton Towers as well as creating the strategy for the admissions and ticketing areas for new Madame Tussauds attractions around the world including Las Vegas, Hollywood & Shanghai.
