About Me

I am a precision-driven Graphic Designer based in Derbyshire. My journey into design began over 25 years ago, but the moment I opened my first copy of Adobe Photoshop, everything clicked, I knew I had found my true professional calling and I have never looked back.

While I have enjoyed a diverse and unique professional background including almost a decade working as a test mechanic for McLaren in Formula 1 creativity and a pin-point attention to detail have always been at my core. Whether I am tuning an F1 chassis or aligning complex typographic layouts, my approach is the same: absolute precision, structural harmony, and zero tolerance for error.

Design isn’t just my job; it’s a passion. I believe every project is an opportunity to merge striking visual aesthetics with practical function. Having worked with freelance clients across various industries, my focus is always on clear communication, thorough research, and a deep understanding of a client's brief. I love clean, impactful digital layouts, but I also draw heavy inspiration from classic, vintage illustrative styles. No matter the scale of the project, my goal is always to deliver work we can both be proud of.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me baking, playing guitar, walking, or skiing. Motorsport remains a massive part of my life, and I still love immersing myself in anything two or four wheel based.

If you have a project in mind or a team that needs a dedicated, precise visual eye, please get in touch - let’s make something incredible together.

Mark was very professional in his approach and yet easy to work with. I am delighted with the end result and very happy to recommend him.

Jim Garlick

I would like to take the time to thank Mark for a great job sorting out my artwork, the end result was great and at a reasonable cost. Help and advise came free of charge.

Nicola Franklin

I found other designers were only re-interpreting my old ideas, with nothing new to help me move forward. Very quickly, Mark pin-pointed my requirements, and translated them into the formats required to help my business.

Sheena Boomer

I was very impressed with Mark’s ideas, designs and professionalism. After spending time and energy getting to understand my business and what I was trying to achieve, he challenged many of my ideas and came up with better solutions.
