About me
I'm a freelance graphic designer with over 30 years of design experience that can turn my hand to any project.

I strive to translate briefs, data, brand values, strategy and missions into thoughtful, conceptually-driven, unique visual expressions.

What my colleagues have said about me

I worked with Tony for over ten years at Cluttons and Bidwells, where he was a key and well liked member of the teams, who gets on with everyone. He’s reliable, easy to work with, and get's things done.
With over 20 years’ experience in the real estate sector, Tony has a great understanding of what’s needed in a professional services/property environment. Unlike most creatives, he is comfortable handling a wide variety of work, from high-end creative design to more everyday document typesetting and layouts. With a knack of producing to a high standard even when up against a tight deadline.

Tony and I worked on a number of high profile projects together while he was at Bidwells. The kind of projects where everyone in the business saw and experienced the outputs.
Tony never let the business down, creating the kind of work that took our brand and reputation to the next level. It was rarely high stress either.
We worked closely together during Covid and during these all consuming brand projects and won a number of awards for our work. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Tony.

Having worked with Tony for almost ten years during which time the GVA business underwent significant growth, I would not hesitate to recommend him. We worked on a vast array of different projects including corporate repositioning, internal campaigns and direct work for clients and each task was undertaken with the same high degree of professionalism and creativity to great success.

I can't speak highly enough of Tony. Two words. Thoughtful and talented. Tony's creative contribution to our team at GVA (now Avison Young) was an absolute breath of fresh air, enabling us to accelerate both our internal and external marketing messaging to a new level. Happy to recommend him and his work.

I had the pleasure of working with Tony for a number of years. Tony was instrumental in developing the brand and our design offer, pushing design forward where our in house team had to compete with external agencies and also pitch for client work. He is a very talented contemporary creative integrated designer and has a desire to meet client expectations, as well as going beyond just delivering the brief. He is clear thinking and strategic, as well as easy to work with. Constantly striving to be more creative, efficient and advance his design skills/knowledge in the latest technology and trends. He also possess an incredible technical knowledge for macs!
I would highly recommend Tony to any employer and would eagerly work with him again.
