Pinecone Penguin
Graphic Design & Illustration
Stationery & Print
Posters, flyers and wedding invitations, sure. But all that merchandise as well; those pens, those t-shirts, those fancy mugs for the office. Designing for print is my bread and butter.
Graphic Design
Logos and Brand Identity, letterheads, business cards, invoices... A lot of little bits of paper and pixels in the corner of your screen. You see them every day, so why not make them beautiful?
Illustration
Perhaps more of the personal touch? I have extensive experience in digital art and illustration, especially in the realms of concept and character design.

what you get with pinecone penguin
Ideas
First and foremost, a good design begins as a good idea. Or ten. Or a hundred. The way I work, you will have unlimited and varied choice on those crucial early steps.
Creativity
Taking these ideas to the next level, I will work upon a variety of examples and mock-ups. This is to give my clients as much creative choice as possible through the design process.
Research
What's your brand? What aesthetic are you after? What is tried and tested? There is a mountain of research to be done to better define your brief, and I can help you.
Attention*
*To detail. For me, a project is not completed until the client is 100% satisfied. Therefore I will always be available to update and tweak any designs in the future.
Implementation
Perhaps you already know what you're after, and you just need a designer to piece it all together. No problem. I enjoy working in tandem with my clients to ensure a perfect end product.
Communication
And of course, every step along the way I will keep in touch. Showing progress, sharing feedback and ensuring all my clients are kept in the loop.
