Jon’s task as Studio Manager also includes the daily running of the studio, looking after our design tools and computer systems. Jon also specialises in publication design, 3D, packaging and product design.

After a number of years successfully freelancing for us, Nick Bennett has joined us as a full-time designer. Nick thinks the experience of the team is fantastic and enjoys sharing creative ideas with them.

 

Amongst the studio he is called Gandalf – the wizard of PowerPoint. Over the years he has also developed a specialism in brand identity development and, with oversight from Paul and David, has been responsible for some of our more striking marques.

 

Nick also likes the open plan setup, where we all engage in conversation and debates ranging from work to politics and social activities. He thinks this really helps to bind the team together and makes for a unique atmosphere.

Project Manager Jules Girling provides us with a combination of organisational, communications and juggling skills. Not forgetting the diplomacy of a politician and the patience of a saint!
Jules feels that many creative agencies underestimate the importance of project management, however, the role is integral to ensure client projects are delivered not only on time & on budget but more importantly, correctly.

Jules enjoys the variety at Design Inc, one minute working on a business aviation exhibition build, the next on an advertising campaign for a landmark London venue or new brand identity in the freight sector or a website for an engineering business.
