About Daniel

About Daniel

Freelance designer, based in London.
Big-brand experience, working directly with small businesses.

Background

Background

I have 20 years of experience in digital, advertising and publishing. The last 10 years have been focused on design. I've worked on brands like Stella McCartney, NatWest and Bupa, and I now work directly with clients on brand, social media strategy, packaging and websites.
I live in Hackney with my wife and two kids. I love both making and looking at art. Music is my other passion.

What I Do

What I Do

I work with businesses at every stage. Sometimes that means a new brand or website. Other times it means looking at what you already have and telling you honestly what's working and what isn't. From there, I'll put together a plan so your business looks and feels right everywhere customers come across it, from your website and packaging to your Instagram and emails.
Designing for large companies taught me to focus on what will make a real difference to a business. For you, that might mean more enquiries, more sales, or customers who understand what you do from the first interaction.

High quality work without the agency price tag

How I can help you and your business

  • Understanding what you can do yourself and what needs a professional

  • Doing enough research to make good decisions, without slowing things down

  • Knowing what problems to solve and why

  • Collaborating to create something that's entirely yours

  • Finishing every detail with the care you'd get from a big agency

  • Designing with professional tools and platforms like Figma, Adobe, Framer and Shopify

  • Using AI where it helps, never as a substitute for design skill

Working Together

You'll deal with me directly, from the first conversation to the finished work. Before designing anything, I'll spend time understanding how your business works and who your customers are. I'll explain my thinking in plain terms, so you can make decisions with confidence.
When a project needs a developer, photographer or copywriter, I bring in people I know and trust and manage them for you.
I care about doing a good job every time, and I want the people I work with to enjoy the process as well as the result.

I live in Hackney with my wife and two kids. I’m passionate about creating and appreciating art and I love music. Whether it’s sketching, visiting galleries, or getting lost in a playlist, I’m happiest when surrounded by ideas and inspiration.
