Strategic Design

I provide bespoke, flexible services & support, offering reasonable per day/per project rates; focussing on the planning, creative, and technical aspects of producing an effective, lead-generating website.

I collaborate directly (& speak the lingo) with Marketeers, fellow Designers & Developers, and SEO specialists and can become an extension of your team, when you need (adept at Figma: design systems & prototyping, Creative Cloud, Twig & Tailwind CSS).

My story kevin nicholson: my start into design

Life

Working for record-breaking brands
Design agency creative direction

After finishing art college with a BA (Hons) in Design and Typography, I was fortunate enough to start my career at a lovely multi-disciplinary design agency where I got to flex my creativity on all types of projects, across a range of global brands.

From the start, the agency’s ‘hands-on’ culture allowed me to develop tight project management, taking jobs from client briefing through to campaign launch; yielding an agile and fluent workflow, which I continue to apply to this day.

Design and technology
Cocktail sales app design and development

I've always been fascinated by the way technology can embellish design and this paved the way to specialise as the team’s Lead Digital Designer. Armed with expertise in user experience and the exciting, rapid pace of web technologies, I designed and delivered a wide range of digital on-brand experiences for clients, from sales apps to global corporate websites – a skillset that led to my current professional focus:
