Brand designer & strategist / 07LONDON, UK

The why.The how.One mind.

I’m Gavin. I do the thinking and the making: I work out what a brand should say, then design exactly how it looks.

A reason.
A recognisable expression.

The practice, up close.

The idea

The thinking.
The making.
The same mind.

You want the strategy and the craft in one person. Positioning, voice and visual identity, built side by side.

Areas of focus
  • Brand positioning
  • Verbal identity
  • Visual systems
Keeping the thinking and making connected

The why and the how, together.

Most brands get the thinking from one place and the design from another, and something gets lost in between. I do both, so the idea arrives in one piece.

How I connect strategy and design
What you get with me
  1. The thinking and the making from one person
  2. Positioning, voice and identity built together
  3. No gap between the strategy and the design
