Established in 2020, NVISION’s mission is to use creative solutions to deliver engaging, intuitive experiences to maximise desired responses to your design/business problems.
With 20+ years in the industry working mainly in branding and illustration, I bring creative solutions and attention to detail to the table. Visualisation, sometimes known as visual thinking or infographics, is another area I worked in extensively over the last ten years.

Interests
Outside of work I have two main interests: mid century architecture and furniture, with chairs being of particular interest.
I’ve made a few scale models of chairs I’ve designed over the years. The plan is to make full size versions at some point but there’s never enough time.
I like designing and making things. I have a genuine interest in how and why things work (or don’t). I find design thinking and problem solving a satisfying pass-time which doesn’t seem to be fading, even if I am.

I’m a huge fan of mid century architecture, from the masters of organic architecture like Frank Lloyd Wright and his protégé John Lautner, through to the purveyors of the International Style such as Richard Neutra and Mies van der Rohe. The Eames are of great interest, as are Aalto, Le Corbusier, Noguchi etc. Marc Newson and Ron Arad. Ai Weiwei. Op Art.
Approach
Asking questions — lots of them — at the beginning of any job is key to understanding the brief and uncovering the real problems that need to be solved. This puts the job on track to delivering the right solutions from the get-go.
Experience
Working closely with clients, I created highly visual one-page illustrations that communicated corporate strategy and/or process for the likes of Baker Hughes, BP, Cancer Research UK, Comcast, Coutts, GKN, MINI and Royal Mail. Some of these strategy maps were made interactive for digital platforms and had clickable elements that revealed further information.

I also made my first foray into architecture last year and designed my first house. A scale model of that is now on my To Do list.
