I have been working direct with HouseSimple since April 2015 on all brand and advertising materials. Initially I worked them to reposition their existing offering to a more tech-led, professional look. Since then I have produced hundreds of items of collateral, from online banners to welcome packs and printed mailers.

A brand tweak for Belling's Centenary celebrations. Incorporated a coffee table keepsake and embellishments to press and brochure work.

BEEP is a new brand currently being developed. Can't really go into the specifics at the moment (ssssh!)

This was a global ad campaign for a promotion to win a sportscar. I came up with the name and TV concept and worked with the creative director and a production company to shoot the ad. Best project I've ever worked on!!!

Remedy-digital.com is a specialist pharmaceutical marketing agency which is part of the Home Group of companies. The brand required cut-through in a market saturated with 3D DNA stands and 'futuristic' jargonous language in an attempt to connect with a very niche market. So I came up with this ethereal brand that really provided standout in an otherwise dull market.

Custom, from scratch illustration peice. Very enjoyable!

This was a joint project with Gemma Teed (gemmateed.co.uk) to consolidate the school's brand vision. As part of this we produced a brand bible for the faculty to reference moving forward

Unlike some designers I can draw and constantly doodle. any worthwhile ones will appear on here, the rest go in the bin. Occasionally my skills are transferable to 'real' work and those are included on here too.

Rebrand of one of William Hill's Bingo products. Sitting slightly above the rest of the sector, it needed a more fashion focussed brand with a Davina McCall-esque front woman!

Here are some 'I'd pick them up off the shelf over their competitors' packaging designs I've produced over the years. As with web design, I wouldn't class myself as an expert but having worked with big names like Heinz and Planet Hollywood over the years I am more than capable of making any packaging kick.

A lovely selection of shots I directed, by directed I mean I didn't have the skills to take them myself so I told someone who did what I wanted them to do and they did it, thus making me look good.

'Welcome to Easy Street' was a pitch to easygroup for the launch of their property service. Initially aimed at landlords with properties to let, the brief was to attack the mini-driving, pin-stripe yuppy estate agents of London. The campaign line was my idea, but the copy was written by a proper writer.

Gimme was a highstreet discount brand that, unfortunately, never got off the ground. The idea was that independent retailers could offer discounts that were location specific. The user downloads an app which alerts them of offers in their area e.g. "John Smith's Butchers has 2 for one on venison sausages this monday"....or something like that. I came up with a brand that was on trend for the predominantly female bargain hunters it was aimed at.

Here's a small selection of the advertising work I have undertaken in my 9 million years as a designer/art director. I am in no way a copywriter but have the occasional 'big idea' and have been known to come up with a campaign line or two. Enjoy. Incidentally, I produced the 3D renders myself for WSOP in Cinema 4D.

A selection of random webiness as provided by my brain and skills. I am not a UX designer but am more than capable of building wireframes and thinking from the user's point of view.

PTA (The Personal Travel Agents) is a specialist, personal service offered by CO-OP Travel. Rather than your standard walk-in travel agents, these guys do everything (and I mean EVERYTHING)  for you, from car hire to sunbed hire! The brand needed to feel 'real' and get across the actual knowledge the 70 or so PTs have.

Screwfix considered launching a DIY sub-brand within their stable.

Design of a large exhibition stand for Lec commerical and Burco appliances.

I was commissioned by a friend of mine's band to make them a poster with 'stand-out' and a tee they could sell at the gig. So far they're 80% sold out and I blame this entirely on my posters....honest.

Over the years I have amazed myself at what I have created given very little time, a few images and a bad brief, but here are some examples of Photoshoppery mixed with my reasonable knowledge of Cinema 4D.

All Good Claims is a company who, essential, wanted to bring a do it yourself approach to injury claims. A dubious market if ever I heard of one, but I came up with the name and the whole brand.

Nyami was a real top down brand I created for what was a very dull bathroom company called something dull like 'bathroomsforbathing.com' or something equally pointless. I came up with the name and the entire look and feel to posiiton them as a real one-stop-shop for high end bathrooms.
