Charlie Straw

Graphic Designer

I help clients develop their brand identity and bring tricky thinking to life in creative ways. I ‘specialise’ in brand design but also enjoy the challenge of working within a brand’s guidelines. Previous clients and projects vary from music festivals to art galleries and restaurants to jewellery brands and my concept-led design enables these brands to tell their stories in the most effective way. After all, design is how it works.

With a side project in music and learning my craft working in the festival industry, it was always the concept behind a design that sparked the most excitement for me. It was at this point I realised, before anything else, that design is much more than simply assembling, editing and ordering, it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to dignify and to dramatize, it is everything to a brand.
