Ten Forward Studios (2015-Present)

Budget: Various

Location: Suffolk + London, UK

​

During my 8 years at TFS, we have done almost 66 projects in total and about 35 completed. Every project, no matter how small is dissected, analysed and bespoke to my clients. I try to approach each new one with a fresh canvas and a clean mind. I find that repetition of concepts is the death of an artist; you become a brand - and brands are loyal only to themselves. My goal as a designer has always been to be rigid in my principles and flexible in my style and process. Branding, on the other hand, creates a rigidity of style, but flexibility of principles. Please see below a short collection of images and drawings below that showcase my approach to design.
