Delivering brand vitality
I’m a strategic, multidisciplinary graphic designer with a passion for all things design. With 17 years experience, my skillset is dynamic, but my greatest expertise is in branding, corporate communications and presentation design.
Agency experience
As a freelancer, I have worked for large, international agencies such as SAS, TBWA, Gyro and McCann in London, and Dinnick and Howells in Toronto, so I'm comfortable being a part of a big team structure servicing large accounts. I’ve also grown with smaller agencies: gaining experience in project/account management, client liaison and managing projects independently from briefing to artwork.
Client experience
I’ve worked with big brands across many different sectors including London Business School, ITV, International Tennis Federation, Charity Aid Foundation, Royal Marsden Hospital and the BBC. I’ve also helped smaller startup brands to build strong brand propositions.
Recent roles & positions
Over the years I've been contracting for renowned companies such as McLaren Racing and Expedia. I've also worked for agencies large and small from The Havas group to McCann Erickson. More recently I completed a longer term contract working for a Private Intelligence company called Dragonfly as a design lead. Here I was tasked with building and training a new design team, developing their brand position and creating innovative collateral. My last role was as Senior Designer for a VR company called Born. I was responsible for running the design division, creating company presentations, marketing collateral, and brand directions for new products and services.
Words from others
“Nick is thoroughly hands on, with an unsurpassed can do attitude to every project task, whether in a client supporting role, or delivering creative. He has a keen eye for detail, the skill to deliver appropriate, considered and refined work; as well as the ability to generate innovative ideas and think beyond the norm. On every collaboration with Nick, he’s been indispensable to the team – not only adding business value, but also being a consistently positive influence in the studio. He is my first port of call as a freelancer and I recommend him without reservation.”
— Elen Swetman, Creative Director, Clarus
“Nick has been freelancing for us at Dinnick & Howells for almost 10 years, and he continues to get better and better. Bringing him in on a project means the ideas on the table will be so much richer, more thoughtful, clever and plentiful. My only reluctance in writing this recommendation, is that we want to keep him for ourselves! Highly recommended designer with a head on his shoulders and deep knowledge of all the design software required.”
— Jonathan Howells, Creative Director, Dinnick & Howells (London & Toronto)
