ordinary.
Brand identity, pitch decks, and visual systems for founders, growing companies, and ambitious brands who treat design as a business decision — not decoration.

Ten years building brand identity and creative direction for names spanning global brands (Timbaland, Universal Music Group, ASCAP, Dreamville, Mastercard & more) and a run of ambitious independent brands building from the ground up.
The work isn't decoration. It's the visual and strategic layer that determines whether a brand gets remembered, trusted, and chosen — across decks, platforms, campaigns, and the moments that actually move a business forward.
Every engagement starts with the same question: what does this brand need to look, feel, and communicate like to win? Everything else follows from the answer.
Six named ways to put judgment behind a brand.
Brand Identity Systems
Distinctive identity systems built to make brands feel credible, memorable and built for growth — from visual direction and identity design to guidelines that keep everything consistent.
Creative Direction
A clear creative point of view for brands that need more than execution. I shape how your brand looks, feels and communicates across digital, campaigns, social and everything in between.
Pitch & Investor Decks
Strategic presentation design that turns complex ideas into clear, compelling stories — built to strengthen the pitch, hold attention and give investors, clients and stakeholders confidence.
UI/UX, Websites & Digital Experiences
High-end digital experiences where brand, usability and commercial thinking work together — from landing pages and websites to product interfaces and full digital design direction.
Campaign & Social Creative
Flexible visual systems for brands that need to move quickly without losing consistency — built for campaigns, launches, paid social, organic content and ongoing brand communication.
Brand Repositioning & Refresh
For established brands that have outgrown how they currently look. I refine the positioning and visual system while protecting the equity and recognition worth keeping.
Freddy is a pleasure to work with. Always incredibly prompt and delivers high-quality results for all of your graphic needs. Would highly recommend to any individual or business looking for help with graphic design.
Freddy is absolutely amazing. When I ask him to get something done he understands the vision very well which then leaves very little revisions for both of us to deal with. His responses is the fastest ive had from any other. I spent 3 months trying out diff creative directors from all over the world and Freddy finally helped me stop the search. Dont make same mistake I did, take my word for it! I'll have Freddy contracted for a long time for all my companies!
Fast, sharp, and exactly what a brand at our stage needed — identity work that didn't feel like it was punching below our ambitions.
Discovery
Establish the vision before design begins.
The brand, goals and target audience are explored to establish a clear creative foundation. Moodboards define the visual direction, including colour, typography and overall style — ensuring alignment before design begins.
Design
Turn the direction into a visual system.
Initial concepts are developed and brought to life across the relevant touchpoints — from identity and brand assets to digital, campaign or apparel — guided by the agreed strategy and creative direction.
Refinement
Strengthen the work through considered feedback.
Feedback is reviewed and applied, with each element carefully refined to strengthen the design, resolve the details and ensure the final direction feels cohesive.
Delivery
Everything needed to put the work into action.
Final designs are prepared and supplied as high-quality, production-ready files for their intended use — whether across web, digital, print, social, presentation, apparel or wider brand applications.
Every project moves through four key stages: discovery, design, refinement and delivery. The brand, audience and objectives are established first, followed by a clear creative direction, considered execution and refinement. Final assets are then prepared for implementation across the required touchpoints.
Every project is scoped around its requirements, complexity and the level of creative direction involved. Most engagements range from £2,500 to £10,000+, with larger brand, digital and creative direction partnerships scoped individually.
Once the requirements are clear, you get a tailored scope, timeline and fixed project fee before any work begins — no hourly billing, no moving numbers.
Timelines depend on scope and complexity. A brand identity system typically runs 3–5 weeks. A pitch deck moves in 1–2 weeks depending on depth. Larger brand, digital and creative direction engagements are scheduled individually — with milestones agreed before work starts, and held.
Every engagement is tailored to the brief. Before work begins, the scope will clearly outline the strategy, creative direction, deliverables, revision stages and final assets included — so expectations are clear from the outset.
Feedback is built into the process at key stages, allowing the work to be reviewed and refined before moving forward. The number of refinement rounds will be outlined within the project scope.
Yes. Ongoing creative direction and design support can be arranged for brands that need consistent creative input across campaigns, digital, social, presentations and other brand touchpoints.
Startups, established businesses and ambitious brands looking to improve how they are seen, understood and experienced. The strongest projects are those where design is treated as part of the business strategy — not simply decoration.
