About Me

I'm Lee – a passionate, versatile and commercially aware Graphic Designer specialising in Branding, Web Design and Illustration. I'm based in the beautiful city of York but have clients across the North of the country.

Over the last 15 years I've worked alongside some great design agencies, marketing departments, web developers and printers to help a huge variety of clients – from start-up businesses to large multi-national companies in both the public and private sectors.

 

GRAPHIC DESIGN
I've produced a vast array of design-for-print, from branding, logos, leaflets, booklets and wedding stationery to government reports, window graphics, exhibition and conference graphics and national magazines.

 

ILLUSTRATION
This is the most fun side of my work. I produce photo montages and vector illustrations that have been used on festival websites, e-commerce sites, blogs and magazine advertisements.

 

WEB DESIGN
I honed my web design skills working at Designition for 6 years alongside some of the best developers in the city. I continue to work along side these great devs to create fantastic looking sites that we're really proud of.

Testimonials

“Lee’s enthusiasm and natural flair was apparent from the beginning and continued throughout the journey. Lee very quickly understood what I was looking for and exceeded all expectations. His guidance was invaluable and ultimately lead to better results than I ever could have hoped for.”
— Oliver McLaren. King O
“Lee’s illustrations are always a great representation of the brief whilst being mindful of our internal preferences. He’s always communicated clearly both his ideas for the pieces and the timescales involved in this. I was always amazed that he could turn my uncreative briefs into something fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Lee and I’m always excited to see what he comes up with.”
— Debbie Kester. PR & Social Media Executive
“I’ve worked with Lee on numerous branding and website projects, and will hopefully continue to do so! Although he’s obviously a super-talented illustrator, it’s his knowledge of design theory, and application of process, that really inspires confidence and eliminates guesswork.

Total pleasure to work with.”
— Nico Jones. Hidden Door
“Having revamped the interior of the salon it was time to look at rebranding. I knew Lee would be the perfect person to do the job. What he came up with was amazing!”
— Jess Steel. Rock The Barnet
