I design something every day. Even on my days off. I've been a graphic designer forever – 30 years to be precise – and still love it. These days graphic design companies needs to offer an even broader mix of skills to their clients. That's what Parker Design is all about.

Being a graphic designer is quite simply the best job in the world! In what other job, on a daily basis, do you get to see someone's face light up when they see something you've created?

Exciting or what?I love being part of Parker Design's London team – working alongside a great bunch of talented people and encountering constant opportunities with interesting businesses that need our help.

The only constant in life is change. And that is why I love what I do – everything changes, nothing stands still, every day is different, every client is different.

My dad was a very creative thinker and doer. Very solution focussed and can do. I like to think it rubbed off on me. I love to solve client briefs with innovative thinking and ideas combined with killer design solutions and an arsenal of digital ordnance. Absorb, understand, think, play and deliver. Thanks dad.

Just because you need something quickly and to a budget, doesn't mean it can't also be great. As Production Director, I'm closely involved in planning large campaigns, and I also manage external and internal resources to ensure the quality of work delivered is exactly what our clients expect, and more.

The more complex a task, the more rewarding it is to find an elegant solution. My love affair with programming really started back in 2000 when, whilst studying Computer Science at University. Needless to say, I knew I’d found my calling.

With over two decades of experience working in Client Services in creative agencies across FMCG, finance, travel and leisure sectors – with brands such as Shell, Durex, Centre Parcs, Virgin, HSBC and Lloyds Bank – I like to think I understand the delicacies of client handling more than most.

I achieve strong results in business development, project delivery, marketing and team development and management with a good splash of common sense thrown in.

Before I found Parker Design I had been thinking of taking a leap of faith and move to a totally different sector, so when the opportunity came up it didn’t take me long to decide. And what a great decision that was!

My design story started in 2000 as a tall, lanky, quiet lad from Cheshire who originally signed up to study Art at college. But I quickly changed my mind as soon as I learnt that there was a Graphic Design course on offer.  I loved computers and I loved to draw  – I still do –  what a perfect combination.

As an art director, I like to develop client relationships and really push ideas to make sure a client gets an individual design solution. At Parker Design, I get to work directly with all of my clients and I find this to be the most efficient way of working. It also delivers the best results.

As a graphic designer, you don’t want to have the same style running through all of your work. I’d say that my specialty is the range and versatility of my work. I love being a designer at Parker Design, because it's never routine: I look after my own accounts and meet with clients, as well as work on great design briefs.

Branding is my favourite area within design. I love the opportunity to take a completely new approach towards a company’s tone of voice helping to set them out from the crowd.

The best part of working for a design agency is the excitement that comes from a brief and continues right through to delivery, always considering the best outcomes and solutions with an innovative or original result.

I love beautiful, gorgeous design that changes people's minds and creates an ever-lasting memory.

I love design, and making designs move and work with other video elements is a challenge which I enjoy every time. There is something satisfying about focusing on the minutest of details in an animation, and adding little finesses which add up to an engaging and exciting video.

I bumped into someone looking through my work, we got talking and after a bit of friendly chit-chat he then left me with a bright red business card, with a white logo that said, Parker Design. A few months down the line, here I am. Talk about a great place to start!

For as long as I can remember I've always loved design. In primary school I was always waiting for the art lessons and making a mess at home recreating things from Art Attack (the best art TV show when I was a kid).

Having cut my teeth at a brand agency I have a particular passion for crafting brand identity, I love getting underneath the skin of a business to provide an effective response that ticks all the boxes.

I feel the more you understand people (including yourself) the better your ability to design for them will be.
