This is the second large project I’ve worked with Gav on, in very different sectors. On this project I was looking for a logo and a website design that was professional but not corporate, warm and friendly but not too casual. He helped me explore the options and then after coming up with a few detailed ideas it was clear which was the right one for this project. I’ve always found Gav easy to work with, responsive, able to pivot when needed and communicates well with all involved including my web developer. He clearly knows what he’s doing design-wise and will continue to be my go-to for anything design related.

Working with Gavin for nearly 6 years has been an absolute pleasure. In that 6 years there wasn’t a single design challenge or brief Gavin didn’t deliver on. His experience, creativity, skill and positive attitude means he can and will always find the best outcome for any client.

As a client I have been able to rely his collaborative, advisory and professional approach and I know that the work I get will always be of a high standard. Gavin really cares about what he does and that’s evident is every piece of design work he produces, from taking the brief to delivering final artwork.
