Hi, I’m Carl, a freelance graphic designer based in Ipswich with over 25 years’ experience supporting businesses with their design and marketing needs.
I work with small & medium sized companies, start-ups, and creative agencies with a vast array of skills and knowledge that I can call upon to assist clients with their requirements.
I offer a personal service no matter how big or small the project. From logo and brand design through to website design and hosting, digital & online marketing, printed brochures, leaflets & stationery. I can advise on the most cost-effective solution for the requirements of your business.
As a friendly, professional designer with a track record of success for all sorts of companies, I make it a simple process to turn your ideas into eye-catching results.
Why choose me as your freelance graphic designer?
I'm a friendly, approachable and experienced professional who can piece together the various elements of a design brief but at a fraction of design agency costs.
I can provide a flexible working partnership that can adapt to suit your requirements in terms of budget and timescales.
I’ll listen to your needs and offer advice based on proven results so that you can be confident that the finished result will be exactly what you hoped for.
By dedicating myself to your business I will gain a full understanding of what’s important to you and what your end goal is before providing a plan of action.
How can I help you and your business?
Start-ups or small businesses
You might need to produce a specific project, or you may need support getting your business up and running with a new logo and website. I can help with simple design jobs or guide you through building the foundations for a strong brand.
Established businesses
Do you need help with a one-off project or maybe you need someone to help with various design jobs as you don't have a full marketing team in-house. I can provide ongoing, dedicated design support for your business.
Design agencies or printers
Perhaps workload is building and you need some extra support from an experienced freelance designer used to working in an agency environment. I can work alongside your team or remotely to support with extra resource when needed.
But don’t just take my word for it, here’s what some of my clients have said....
As a new Headteacher to a school I wanted to rebrand the school. I was recommended Carl to help me with designing a new logo and gave him a call. Right from that first conversation Carl was helpful and easy to talk to about my vision. I gave him a few ideas and asked him to put some designs together as a start. The four that he gave me as a start were amazing and we found it difficult to decide. He was helpful and accessible always, always offering me extra help at such a professional standard. The final result is outstanding and we as a school cannot thank him enough. He will always be my first go to from now on for any help in these areas. Highly recommend his work. Thank you Carl.

Utterly fantastic service. From the moment we contacted Carl he has been a pleasure to work with. Personal service really counts and nothing was too much trouble or effort for him. Our finished products look amazing with his designs and we feel really helped launch our service in the right way. Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely use again in the future.

As a small business it’s important to us that anyone we work with takes the time to understand our needs and will help us find the answers, even if sometimes we are not sure of the question ourselves. Working with Carl has helped us to send out a clear message with strong branding and has allowed us the time to concentrate on what we are good at. Any business looking to improve their online & print offering and free up time to concentrate on their core tasks would benefit from working with Carl.
