Ayesha Latto

Marketing Manager, Tesco

We chose Simon for our branding, design and web development because from the start we felt he understood our brief exactly and was able to quickly capture, develop and enhance our vision beyond what we had even imagined. He is one of the most proactive and efficient people I have ever worked with, we always felt our work was a priority to him and he was conscious to stick to our timeline and budget, often chasing us which was very much appreciated! We were grateful for his honest opinion with what would work and what might not, and the advice he gave us when required - drawing from his own expertise and his contacts. Simon provided a great end to end service for us, which felt like a true collaboration and we will continue to work with him on this and future projects.

Keith Drummond

Creative Director, Bookmark

Simon is without doubt one of the most naturally creative and original thinking people I have had the pleasure to shoot with. Simon works extremely hard to realise his creative vision and has the ability to reimagine a simple brief and come up with something outstanding. He directs the team with authority and understanding, ensuring his clients needs are always considered. It’s always been a pleasure to work closely alongside Simon and bring his ideas to life through the lens.
