ABOUT JESS

I fell in love with graphic design in 2013 when I did my first illustrator course and never looked back. Since then I’ve been working to hone skills in branding and web design. As a self-taught designer my training has really come from hard-won experience and a varied experience it has been. I’ve worked on print design, UI, packaging, signage, even graphics for film. But it became clear that my one true love was logo design and brand identity. Seeing the excitement of a client as they see their new brand come to life never gets old.

 

My style is clean and paired back with an emphasis on colour and typography. I ere on the side of minimal but always with a little bit of warmth and a human touch. I aim to create something timeless for my clients, and with a background in brand strategy my designs are always rooted in something meaningful.

ABOUT REUBEN

I got my first job in web advertising when I was 20 years old and have loved it ever since. I worked for an agency in London and later in New York City. During that time I worked on campaigns for some great companies like Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, AmEx, Sky, Vodafone and Dell.

Whilst I was in New York, I decided to go freelance. Initially I specialised in mobile friendly websites as that was a new thing in 2012. During that time, I developed a fascination with figuring out what makes a large company’s website feel so much more premium than a small business site. I soon learned it was branding. Like most people I thought branding just meant a logo, but looking into this led me to learn the science and the art behind it.

When Jess came on board we found ourselves taking on more and more brand projects and although we have worked on all kinds of web and design projects – branding is where we have continued to develop our expertise.

 

My style is definitely simple and clean and I love typography. (When reading a menu sometimes I’m too busy trying to work out what the font is and I forget to decide what I want to eat – although that’s usually chips anyway) I am a fan of great copy, especially the kind you find in classic advertising like the VW campaigns from the 60’s. I particularly enjoy the creative industry because I love to learn new things and as my friends will attest, I am a sucker for anything with novelty value.
