Darren in a few words
Graphic Design | Logo Design | Brand Identity | Sharper Creative Branding | Getting better results for your small business.

Your logo and image is crucial as it’s the foundation that you build your reputation on. If your brand lacks consistency it will give the wrong message to your audience. A great logo and printed brochure will help you ‘stand out from the herd’ but it’s only a small part of your overall brand.

Once you have a recognisable, consistent brand that helps you communicate your message it will help you attract new clients and keep you top of mind with your existing clients.

In my experience, small business owners in the professional services industry are so close to their own brand that they fail to see the obvious flaws that can hold their business back thereby causing them stress.

I can save you stress and valuable time by giving you a consistent brand message for all your printed and promotional material.

You will have full access to my 25 years + graphic design experience to help you achieve a bespoke solution.

Here is what one of my clients had to say about working with me.

"A true professional who gives excellent service. He spends time understanding exactly what you want and delivers it promptly.” Anne W - June 2023

You get a complete solution. The initial graphic design to the delivery of your printed collateral giving credibility to your company image at an agreed budget and time-frame.

If you’ve totally underestimated the power of good branding book a 30 minute call with me.

I can evaluate your current logo, your branding and make suggestions for improvement.

I will also give you the information you need to decide if I am the right fit for your business.

Looking forward to speaking to you when you’re ready.

    Graphic Designer, Branding and Print Specialist
    August 2006 - Today (18 years and 7 months)
    Good quality, well thought out, consistent graphic design is a powerful way to enhance your marketing message. Using a specialist saves you time and stress, leaving you free to get on doing what you do best - running your business. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you? You may have used an online design service, found it difficult to navigate, spent far too much time and not been happy with the results. You may have a logo which looks great on screen but when it's printed large on a roller banner for example, it pixelates and looks blurry. You wonder why the colour on your website doesn't match your letterhead, which in turn doesn't match your flyer or leaflet. So what is the answer? Put simply, using a graphic design specialist can take care of the whole process for you from start to finish. Creating online and print media will provide solutions to enable you to promote your business with a clear visual identity. Serious about getting results and wanting a 'creative design solution'?

Having known and worked with Darren for some years now, I can thoroughly recommend his skill, his honesty and thorough professionalism. He is always happy to help even if last minute requests. He interprets vague instructions into workable results. I wouldn't use anyone else.
