Mark S
 
Creative Director - Graphic design / Web design / Illustration

Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

About Me

From an inexperienced mac monkey to a nicely refined and well rounded senior creative (if i do say so myself) my years in design (over 13) have thrown all sorts of challenges my way.

Whether it be B2B marketing materials for an urinal system, an overseas advertising campaign for Visa or an impossible brief with a butt-clenching tight budget - my desire to create something memorable and effective remains the same.

Areas covered: Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, London, Hampshire, Bedfordshire, Middlesex, Reading, Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire
