I'm Simon and I love designing!

With a career spanning over twenty five years, my specialisms include logo design, website creation, designing for print, video production, social media and photography.

About Me

A little about my career to date…

A varied career in communications and marketing

My portfolio includes design, website development and management, social media, media relations and coordinating high-profile projects. I have produced a number of major Annual Reports, working with internal stakeholders at all levels of seniority. I write and edit clear and engaging copy for different audiences, including staff and volunteers, conveying complex messages with sensitivity and clarity. 

I manage and support digital projects, primarily website and intranet content and integration.

 

I have won awards with various companies, including a National Business Award, 2nd Place in the ‘Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For’ for two consecutive years and many others.

I enjoy pouring my creativity into designing logos, literature and websites and produce work for many charities.

I have a passion for effective communication and engagement and want to leave positive footprints behind.

What services do I provide?

I can help with a whole range of creative services.

I create visual concepts to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate. I develop designs for logos, adverts, brochures and magazines

Video and Photography

Creating promotional films and corporate  photography to complement your campaigns.  Using Photoshop to manipulate your images and add effects.
