I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with a senior designer who is also a coach and mentor.
Richard’s ability to manage and delegate multiple projects enhanced our productivity and made a dramatic difference in the level of efficiency during my period at Bird & Bird. One thing that makes him stand out is his dedication, passion and the way he puts all his energy and time to get the job done. He inspired me to push myself forwards to always deliver the best out of me.
I have confidence he will go very far in life and any employee would be lucky to have him on their team.

In a city such as London there is a huge pool of talent from which to choose a design team, but in my experience few young designers are as confident, creative, efficient and such a pleasure to work with as Richard.

He has worked with me on numerous projects and never do I have to look over his shoulder to make sure work is progressing as it should. I have complete confidence in his abilities to work both independently and as part of a larger creative team. Graphic design is a process; Richard is able to effortlessly create his own, or build upon an existing design concept all the while catering to the needs of even the most particular client.

It is with no hesitation that I recommend his services.
