“Christian did a fantastic job on the Desynit re-brand project. He works quickly and is able to take on board complex briefs and turn them into fantastic hard-working creative. He is extremely reliable, delivers everything you ask for and more, and is very easy to work with. Highly recommended.”
Amy Grenham
Marketing Manager
“Christian produced a fantastic brand for Planning Ventures, which included a range of logos, stationery and website. He understood my brief perfectly in terms of the style and image that I wanted the brand to achieve. Such an easy person to work with, he made the creative process of designing a brand from start to finish a joy.”
Julie Laming
Owner Director
“Worked with Christian on a number of projects, everything from brochures to logos and icons to branded clothing! Can’t rate him highly enough, extremely talented designer but more than that he’s intelligent and understands and predicts what will work and what you will like. He’s always produced spot on results with only a minimal brief. A rare find.”
Neil Crawford
Salesforce architect
“Christian has built us a series of templates that we can use in our communications. Christian was able to turn the project around really efficiently by listening to me, making suggestions and providing us with design assets that I can insert into my own software to use as needed. I would definitely recommend Christian for design projects and we will be working with him in the future.”
Helen Woodcock
Business Development
“We really loved his work – both the design and the strategic thinking behind it. At the initial meeting he listened to what we were about and what we wanted to do, and came back with a proposal that fitted our needs. The output has started to shape our brand and how it is articulated in design-terms – bold, eye-catching, creative. Would highly recommend him.”
Rachael Wheatley
Director
“He thinks about design in a very practical way, which doesn’t take anything away from the impact of his creativity. Everything he has created for us we use all the time and our new and existing clients have commented on how brilliant and professional our materials are. He also thought beyond what we were asking for to recommend some small quick things that add impact and make a big different to how we present ourselves.”
Karen Meager
Lead Consultant & Director
“I really enjoyed working with Christian and would highly recommend him to anyone. He was able to interpret my ideas into a design that exceeded my expectations, was highly organised and really responsive to all communications.”
Lucy MacLennan
Director
“What was different was that Christian really thought about everything we'd talked about, and he'd noticed something that I was completely blind to – and made changes accordingly. Just contact Christian, talk it through, and prepare to be impressed and enlightened. He's really friendly, so you'll enjoy the experience too!”
Jonathan Rees
Facilitrainer
“I was initially skeptical about whether a ‘graphics guy’ would be able to come up with something to visually communicate what my company is about. I’ll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong to be skeptical! The branding Christian did for Clarke Creatives is superb. Quick responses, prompt delivery of the artwork, expert designs.”
Mike Clarke
Owner Director
“Christian more than justifies a 5 star review. His service is professional at all times and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I wanted a website that was engaging, but simple and easy to use and Christian was with me every step of the way. I would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into the creativity, design and development of my website. I have had excellent feedback and am extremely happy with the end result.”
Georgie Collins
Owner Jewellery Maker
“Christian was on the money from the very first meeting, he asked thought provoking questions, showed relevant examples of previous work and he listened to us and what we thought we wanted. We really enjoyed working with Christian and felt at all times that we were in safe hands confident in the knowledge that he would come up with the goods, and he did. We would gladly, happily and confidently recommend Christian and his work to anyone looking to develop their website, he is thoughtful, professional, honest and above all genuinely creative.”
Tom Mornement

“Christian has done absolute wonders with provide excellent designs and supporting our re-brand! We always look forward to seeing what's coming next after we've asked for a design, and always blown away by what we receive. Super professional and always helpful, great communicator and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Christian to anyone!”
Abbey Fortescue
Key Account Manager
“I've recommended Christian to many of our clients and will continue to do so. We recently engaged him to develop the Future Content brand, creating visual brand guidelines, sales decks and template proposal and presentations. The results were fantastic. And the funny thing is – I always knew that they would be. Christian involves you in the design process, is highly professional and goes beyond design to ask 'why do you need this?' 10/10”
Tom Sandford
Content Marketing Strategist
“It has been a pleasure working with you Christian on the design of our micro-site Crown Campus. You managed to captured my vision and you turned it into a fully functioning website, which I didn't think was possible with the short time frame we had. You also never complained when I made 101 changes to a simple info-graphics and you didn't mind the 8 am calls to just touch base.”
Aimee Blyth
Marketing Manager
“Christian supported me with the design and delivery of a brand new website. He quickly grasped the key points about my business to build a site that really reflects me, my values, the way I work and how this supports clients. As a result, I've got a brilliant showcase of my business – I've had great feedback, telling me that it really sounds like me, is warm, welcoming and personal. Christian delivered this all with great patience and expertise. Most of all, he helped to make this process really clear and straightforward and his understanding of Squarespace, and ability to get that across to me, has made this whole thing relatively easy.
Jo Twiselton
Change Leadership Coach
“Christian has been helping us re-brand and redesign our website. He's been great to work with in: quickly getting the hang of who we are and identifying and retaining key ideas from our early discussions and using these to create coherence as the work progressed, coming up with a broad enough range of suggested designs without being so broad that they overwhelmed, being really approachable and flexible in trying out ideas. He's been very responsive whilst gently and usefully questioning some of our ideas. And he's been great in working with other marketing consultants who we've been working with to create a coherent brand. We're really happy to recommend his work and would certainly work with him again ourselves.”
Lix Veecock
Co-founder
“Christian worked with me on a rebrand for a firm of IFAs that work in London and on the Southeast coast. The rebrand was complex because the firm wanted to show their accessibility, but also state their knowledge and professionalism. In addition the competitive landscape of the firm had changed quite considerably in 10 years – when they had last done brand work. Christian had specific skill in understanding the financial and business goals of the group, but at the same time was able to deeply personalise the look and feel of the re-brand; which included a new logo. The output had to resonated with existing and prospective customers. Christian nailed brand essence and elements. He created a future-proofed suite of marketing collateral that acknowledged the firm's history but, planted it firmly in the here and now”
Sophie Relf
Site Assets Marketing
We approached Christian via a mutual connection after he was recommended for a project to completely redesign our company website at the end of 2018/early 2019. From the outset it was clear what a great creative partner Christian was going to be. He quickly understood our requirements and was able to give our established website a much-needed refresh while maintaining a look and feel that was familiar to our long-standing clients. Not only was Christian able to create a website that looked and functioned fantastically, but he was also able to design in such a way that it provides great flexibility for adding future content.

Marketing Manager
– Fizz Brand Experience
“We were delighted to work with Christian. He was incredibly professional, from the initial enquiry, to the fulfilment of the brief. The job required a quick turnaround, and we were impressed by the speed with which he both understood our brief and created a really effective response. We were delighted with the infographic he created for us. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”
Sophie Duncan
Deputy Director
“Really enjoyed working on the logo designs with Christian, he is easy to work with, polite, efficient and very good at what he does. As a new start up money was tight and his rates were also very reasonable! I am really happy with the result and have been complimented on how apt for my business and professional it is.”
Philip Jane
Owner
“Christian worked as part of a team to launch a new website for Cansford Laboratories. As anybody in marketing knows, design is the part of any project where everybody has a view! And the big reveal is the bit I dread! But working with Christian the process was seamless. Cansford was delighted from offset, which made my job so much easier. Christian is not only very creative, but takes the time to really understand a client – as well as a brief. The project was therefore on brief, on brand and on budget. Highly recommended!”
Alex Swann
Marketing Manager
“Christian has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed a brand developing from scratch to represent a small new independent business I was launching. I could not be more delighted with the results and the process of getting those those results. Christian listened to everything I told him about the type of business I wanted to create and he delivered something that truly reflects that. He was patient with me as I played with colour variations and final logos and templates, always prepared to show me alternatives until he knew I was happy. He led the way with some great ideas but allowed me the time to feedback and decide. He made the design process fun and exciting whilst also staying right on brief. I will be back again as soon as any further design work is needed and I feel very happy to recommend his work to others.”
Lisa Steadman
Director
“Christian designed and built our website for The School of Valuable Content, and we’re really pleased with it. Christian and I had collaborated before on quite a few projects, so I already knew that he’s a great designer to have on your team. But I definitely really appreciated his calm and creative resourcefulness when it came to our own website. Highly recommended.”
Sharon Tanton
Content Marketing Coach
“I worked with Christian as part of the core project team to completely redesign the Organic Research Centre’s website. This was a pretty complicated project – not only because we need to satisfy a range of stakeholder users – including researchers, farmers, supporters etc but also because the organisation has collected 40 years worth of research that needed to find a home!
Working with Christian was a delight – it was great to have a designer who intuitively understood what was needed and responded quickly, efficiently and effectively to each challenge that was thrown at him. We are delighted with the feedback received both internally and externally so far and really feel that this has provided a great platform for us to continue to develop in future.
Lucy MacLennan
Chief Executive
Christian came highly recommended by my website designer. This is the first time I've gone through the brand identity process so I didn't know what to expect and I was a little anxious about it. Mainly because if I didn't know what I wanted, how could he? Christian was great over the phone. He talked through the process thoroughly and asked lots of questions to guage how I felt about myself as a business and what image I wanted to portray. He gave me plenty of attention and he is extremely amiable and helpful. We went ahead with the logo branding and I have to say, I was really impressed. He captured everything I wanted into one concise design and I was so impressed. It suited my personality and my business and I'm delighted with the final outcome. Really, he is a very clever, talented chap. 5 Stars!
