Profile bio

About Richard Ashdown

It has never been enough for me to be an observer or admirer of design. In all things that appeal to me, I have the desire to grow them, customise, personalise or improve them. There is a Japanese word I came across, Kaizen, which means constant improvement for the better. That is my approach to design and to my personal life. It is this approach that has seen me work in all fields of media from Aerosol art to technical illustration in manufacturing, motion and animation and OOH design to UI and digital design, and to have been successful in all of them. I have an uncontainable desire to improve, my work is a reflection of this. I have often started out with nothing but an idea of how things should be, and learnt how to achieve that vision. I have 20+ years commercial experience in Adobe design software and have seen many tools grow from being standalone applications to becoming the creative suite we know today, but am as happy working with a pencil and paper, aerosol, paint and brushes or any other media. My career has not seemed like work to be honest. I’ve had a great time and learnt a lot along the way. I would probably be doing the same sort of creative activity whether I was being paid or not. I’ve always said when you truly love what you do, the practice is the only reward you need.
