Ay up, I’m Dan. A driven and dedicated creative, aiming to make a positive impact and create valuable experiences through design. Throughout my 10 years in the industry across the UK, I’ve worked with start-ups to household-name international clients.
I specialise in brand identity, UX & UI design and advertising, plus printed and digital solutions. My approach is to use playful design systems and vibrant styling alongside considered typography and motion graphics. I love to work with ambitious brands, projects and individuals to help bring their stories to life. Whilst also collaborating with established businesses to transform visual identities and communications that deliver impact and aid growth.
My process always begins with deep research into the business, project or sector, looking for that needle in the haystack ‘hook’ that will drive the creative. I love stepping into areas out of my comfort zone. I believe that learning, and the experimental stage, is the most exciting and rewarding part of the process as a designer. From a scribble in a sketchbook to final creative, I can quickly bring an idea to life with my experience across the Adobe Suite, plus Figma and basic coding skills. With confident communication skills, I prefer to skip the jargon and keep things clear, whether presenting to clients or giving mentees creative feedback.
I spend my spare time running an online radio station, DJing, plus organising club nights and parties in my hometown. I’m a keen football fan, Stoke City supporter (for my sins in a past life) and love a kick about at 5-a-side. I like to relax, spending time in the kitchen cooking up all types of cuisines.

Jam | Lead Creative | June 2018 - Present
At Jam, I’ve led projects and had a direct role in the creative output, working in a close-knit team across diverse clients, from Transport for Greater Manchester to Koura Global.

Freelance, community & personal projects
Throughout my time as a designer, I’ve worked on many projects with family and friends on their full-time and side businesses. More recently I have been involved with a local community project and a University Art programme. Additionally, I’ve worked with international brands such as LNDR on small social campaigns.
All of the above has helped me grow as a designer, allowing me to expand my skill set in animation, illustration and web design, and away from the screen when delivering creative workshops to groups of young children.
And from my passion project, Froot Radio, I’ve gained transferable skills such as budgeting, plus team and event management.
