Design partner to brands you know

Design that makes your brand impossible to ignore.

From Grand National billboards to Twickenham hospitality, I help ambitious organisations turn big ideas into work people actually notice. Senior creative thinking on every project, with nobody in between.

Now showing · Brand roll-out for The National Archives

Trusted by

Sport, retail, broadcast, finance and the arts. Some of the UK's best known names.

The difference

Big brand standards. A direct line to the designer.

Big organisations come to me when they want work that looks world class but don't want to wait on an agency machine. You talk to the person doing the design, every time. Ideas move faster, briefs stay sharp, and what you approve is what goes out.

A woolly brief→A clear, confident ideaI ask the right questions up front, so the creative is built on what you actually need.
Agency layers→Straight to the designerNo account handlers or juniors. The person you brief is the person who designs it.
Mixed messages→One brand, everywherePrint, digital, events and web that all look and sound like the same organisation.
Deadline panic→On time, on brandTight turnarounds are normal for my clients. I plan for them, so you can relax.

What I can do for you

Six ways to make your brand work harder.

One partner across print, digital and live events, so everything you put out looks like it came from the same confident brand.

What clients say

“
I was really impressed with how Stuart managed me, asking the right questions and helping me to tighten up the brief. The final product was so successful that we are hoping to roll it out globally.

Louise Kelly, Communication Channels Manager, Coca-Cola

The quality of Stuart's communication, design work, and final output was extremely high. I would recommend Stuart and Graphics Monkey to anyone looking for high quality graphic design, with intelligent and personalised service throughout.

Charles Street, MxP Partners

Our briefs often have a very short turnaround time and Stuart always does a brilliant job of meeting our deadline requirements and interpreting our briefs with a consistently high quality of design.

Laura Jeffries, Twickenham Experience

Thank you so much for all of the work you've done over the past few months to help us out with the brand project. You've been absolutely brilliant!

You get the judgement. Not the learning curve.

I've designed for broadcasters, sports bodies, retailers, financiers and cultural institutions. That means I can get to the heart of your brief quickly, spot problems before they cost you, and know what will work on a billboard, a brochure or a screen.

Fewer roundsI get to the right answer faster, which saves your time and budget.
Brand safeUsed to strict guidelines and demanding brand teams.
Calm under pressureBig deadlines and moving goalposts are part of the job.
