Profile
Senior experience.
Still curious.
I’m Nick, a freelance senior graphic designer and creative lead based in Brighton.
Over 30 years, my work has moved from print and editorial into global events, presentations, digital platforms and brand communications. The common thread is making complex information easier to understand.
I enjoy the creative thinking and the practical detail: finding the idea, building a system around it and making sure it works across the things your audience actually sees.
Useful to know
A few useful answers.
Yes. My work spans creative development, detailed design and final production. The scope can cover a complete project or a specific stage where your team needs support.
A short overview of the project, the deliverables, your deadline and any existing content or guidelines. A budget range helps shape a realistic approach, but an initial conversation can start with a rough brief.
Some work involves confidential organisations, agency relationships or internal information. These case studies explain my contribution and the design thinking without disclosing company names or identifiable client artwork.
Yes. I am based in Brighton and work with agencies and organisations beyond the local area. We can discuss remote collaboration, meetings and any on-site requirements around the project.
