Graphic Design

I'm a graphic designer and design director with 30 years of experience in television, moving image, and visual communication. I've worked with a variety of broadcasters and agencies, including ITV, Sky Television and BBC / Red Bee Creative, both in-house and freelance.

I've designed across a wide range of projects, including logo design, channel identity, on-screen presentation packages, on-air promotions, title sequences, sponsorship sequences, and automated design systems.

My work combines typography, illustration, photography, 2D and 3D animation, video, live action, and visual effects.

I have now extended that knowledge to generative AI by creating a workflow called the Genre Drift Engine for creating design worlds.

I approach graphic design as a problem-solving process.

Photography

About 15 years ago I reignited my interest in photography, initially focussing on modern architecture and landscapes in London and the south-east of England.

Many of the images reflect my graphic design background through their abstraction, composition, and use of geometry.

My work is editorial and I arrange my photographs into sequences that describe my experience of a location or subject.

I have taken photographs since I was a child. Throughout my time at art school I developed and processed my own film and prints, experimenting with different techniques such as solarisation and creating photograms.

Throughout my design career I have either integrated photographs into my design work, or retained them as images in their own right.

Recently I curated a selection of my photographs into two books - Fragmented and Common Ground. The process made sense of the photographs I had taken over the previous ten years and inspired the future direction of my work.
