Hello, my name is David Latcham. I graduated from Camberwell College of Arts (part of the University of the Arts London) with a degree in graphic design, focussing on print design and typography.

I have worked as a freelance designer in London, plying my trade on projects from flier and poster design through to book design and layout, as well as full re-branding for various groups and organisations.

My approach to design is to take each project I work on as a new challenge and really get to grips with the themes and concepts it throws up. I feel this allows me to tailor designs that communicate their message with both clarity and originality. I love to take on new challenges and working closely with clients to get the best quality work possible. With a flexible yet ordered style of work I am able to deal with situations as they arise, manage the strains of concurrent projects, whilst still delivering high quality design to tight deadlines and budgets.
