Credentials
Branding, design, and communications are powerful agents of change. As David Attenborough states, ‘Saving our planet is now a communications challenge. We know what to do; we just need the will.’ Given the urgency of addressing the climate, ecological, and social crises, my expertise in encouraging, inspiring, and accelerating positive action is more critical than ever. Below are my credentials, but don’t just take my word for it – read what my clients have to say.
Unparalleled experience
I launched Advocate in 2003 as one of the first ethical design agencies, using the power of branding and design to help amplify the impact of those working towards a greener, fairer, and better world. This level of specialist experience, knowledge and insight sets me apart, ensuring I deliver impactful solutions to your challenges and goals.
Expert in branding and design
I’ll amplify your impact through brand strategy, brand identity, web design and graphic design. See my services.
Greater commitment
As the business name ‘Advocate’ suggests, I’m on your side and I’ll champion you. As an environmental campaigner, I share your commitment to achieving your goals. This dedication and passion are integral to creating truly effective work. See my ethics.
More bang for your buck
To help not-for-profits and good causes access effective design, my rate is based on the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Minimum Income Standard. And without the overheads of a typical agency – such as salespeople, account handlers, or a fancy office – my rate remains low. This means your budget buys more of my time, ensuring the best possible outcomes. My design rate.
Focus on clarity
I believe design is thinking made visual. So my first step is to help focus your ideas, strategy and thinking – to create clean, clear, considered branding and design that communicates with clarity and impact.
The right team for the job
I provide a personal, professional service and, when necessary, will bring together and manage talented web developers, copywriters, illustrators or photographers to create the best team for your project.
