Hello, it’s good to meet you
I’m John an experienced web and graphic designer based in the heart of Stockport. I set up my small business back in 2010 after 20 years working in design, marketing and technology.
From my small home studio in Marple I create carefully crafted websites and beautiful branding for solo entrepreneurs, local small businesses and charities.
Creativity and care
Every project is approached with creativity and care and my goal is always the same; to help your small business stand out and grow.
I build long-lasting relationships with my clients and offer ongoing support and advice as their businesses flourish. When you work with me you get over 30 years of skill and knowledge and a graphic style that’s focused on clarity and minimalism. I’m obsessed by tiny details and care deeply about delivering a fantastic end product.
I enjoy working with people who have a positive impact on the world, see the importance of good design and share my values of kindness, openness and honesty.
A few interesting facts
I enjoy spending time in the countryside and can often be found getting my steps in on the canal tow paths around Marple.
When I’m not noodling about on my guitar, I’m usually cooking some wildly experimental dish in the kitchen much to the bemusement of my Wife and Daughter.
I have a real interest in Buddhism and how we can use it to make the world a more compassionate place.
Back in 2021 I published a small book of poetry called Terraces & Temples which is a heady mix of nature, folklore, psychedelia and childhood memories.
