Design that drops the anchor .

Design. Disrupt. Define. Deliver.

This Isn’t Just Design.

I’m a freelance graphic designer in Cheadle and Stoke on Trent, building brands from the core. I focus on strategy, clarity, and identity that actually means something. Every project is shaped by bold ideas and thoughtful design that connects with people and cuts through the noise. Whether you’re starting fresh or evolving what’s already there, I create branding that is honest, considered, and built to last. No fluff. No off the shelf solutions. Just work that earns its place.

Having worked with Chris on projects from logo designs to websites, I can honestly say he is one of the nicest, most patient designers I have ever worked with. Genuine and lovely person too! He has a true talent for what he does, and really gets the vision of each brief! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Graphic Designer.

AWARDS.

No awards.
JUST RESULTS.

For years I thought success meant awards, features, and getting noticed by the right platforms. I chased the idea that recognition equalled respect. But over time I realised none of that defined me. What does? Showing up. Staying sharp. Giving a damn. I’ve been obsessed with design since I was 15. Now at 37, that fire has not dimmed — it burns deeper. I live and breathe branding. I love how it moves people, starts conversations, shifts culture. Design is influence. It is power. And that is what I am here for. Not trophies. Just results.
