I'm really glad to have had the opportunity to work with Mark - he's an experienced and talented graphic designer, creative artworker, and retoucher and it was a pleasure to have him join our team for 4 months. We needed someone who could hit the ground running, learn our processes quickly, and take on a varied and busy workload and Mark stepped up to the plate perfectly. His abilities became evident very quickly and I felt very confident in giving him challenging work. A highlight was when Mark led on the successful creative campaign for the BFI IMAX relaunch, which was rolled out across various OOH sites. He also played a key role in the redesign of the signage and branding for the BFI IMAX relaunch. Mark is friendly, efficient, solutions-driven, and is open to feedback (as well as being honest with the feedback that he gives). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark for graphic design, creative artworking, and retouching work.

I’ve worked with Mark for many years and he’s always delivered top quality work – he has great ideas, makes positive suggestions and improvements and never misses a deadline.
Great fun to work with as well.

Head of Brand Communications, Membership,
Engagement & Marketing Operations
I've worked with Mark in our internal creative agency – he as art director and designer, me as copywriter. We’re a financial services provider so we have a range of advertising material to produce, and Mark is adept at all of them – from a self-sealing mailer or multi-page brochure to emails and web pages, it’s like he’s seen it all before. What’s more, he has turned out a tidy logo or two for our various initiatives.
Don’t be fooled by his carefully crafted design, the sensitivity to space, the loving attention to type. It all looks like it took hours, when in fact, he’s surprisingly swift. He’s a breeze to work with. His refreshing honesty lets us crack on and dispense with chasing down ideas that won’t work. Did I mention his sense of humour? Best not, his head is big enough already.

Ian Middleton
Independent Creative Director
Mark came in at short notice to unpick and remake a set of application guides for us. He didn’t have a lot of time, so he had to pick it up fast. No problem. Like his previous job for us a few months ago, he did a sterling job of creating a simple, sensible set of guidelines. He’s my kind of freelancer – the sort that just makes the problem disappear with no fuss. I’d hire him again without a second thought.
Michael Storey – Ocado

Mark is extremely diligent, professional and precise – I have always found him and his work to be of top quality. As a designer, artworker and retoucher he is able to adapt almost any kind of job, either working alongside an art director or solely on a wide variety of projects. On top of that he’s a great guy to work with.
