TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take my word for it when it comes to my work and process. Here are some words from the good people I’ve worked with and for over the past 17+ years.

Barrie Robinson

Creative Director / Managing Partner – McCann Birmingham

“Justin is a rock. Someone you can rely on, not only to get the job done on time but to surprise you along the way with his thinking. He takes direction well and then puts his own stamp on it. I would highly recommend Justin to any creative department.”

Joe Wilson

Joe Wilson / Founder at Comparethebuild.com

“Thanks Justin it was great working with you. Highly recommended to others who have an idea and need some professional help making it a reality.”

Jane Hales, CMRS

Board Advisor and Business Coach

“Justin is a fantastic example of the quality of talent on LinkedIn. His pithy images and copy kept catching my eye when I was in the market to take my business to the next level around 5 years ago. He certainly managed to help do that, starting with advert copy, moving to pitch decks, to thought leadership reports. We event bought him in to help us bringing our brand to life visually when we moved office for the third time.
His ability to keep me on brand, on tone and visually have been tremendous over the years. His concept ideas are also extremely creative.
Although we've only met once in person, I didn't hesitate to turn to him when setting up my most recent brands. His empathetic support and willingness to go that extra mile for the right people is a rare find which I value highly.
No job seems to be too big or small for him, give him a call now!”

Maurice Malone

CEO | Birmingham Irish Association / Director of the Birmingham St Patricks Parade

“ I commissioned Justin at very short notice to work on an (OOH) electronic bill board campaign for the St Patricks Parade in Birmingham, England. His enthusiasm and attention to detail was fantastic and the speed at which he produced the excellent artwork for me was very impressive. He took the whole thing off my hands which is exactly what I needed and came back to me for final approvals. A breath of fresh air in the design world and thanks to Justin my digital advertisements were proudly displayed around the city to the enjoyment of thousands of people. If you are looking for a designer look no further.”

“Working with Justin is a pleasure. From initial briefing through to delivery, Justin has a brilliant combination of being highly skilled and creative, as well as being straightforward to deal with. We love Justin’s way of thinking – he brings a creative slant to tricky projects and his ability to visualise these in a highly workable way is impressive. I look forward to our next project together.”

Anthony Tattum

“Justin has the rare ability to get to the real nub of a problem or opportunity and design/create a solution that is strategic, coherent and actually works.
As a creative / senior designer at Big Cat he successfully worked across both public and private sector clients.”

Vann Vogstad

Founder of COHO 🏡 Start-up Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 🏆

“In the process of creating our branding I had some great conversations with Justin, and he welcomed my long explanations of what our brand is and what we represent. I feel he took that information and distilled it into a perfect brand which he did with extreme care. There was a lot of outside the box thinking and clever ideas. I'd recommend working with him to anybody who wants a carefully considered brand.”

Zenon Texeira

Creative Director, Opus

“Justin was recommended to me by a trusted supplier as an ideal answer to fulfil a temporary creative position in my company. It is true and accurate to describe Justin as a dedicated and passionate creative who conducts himself with the highest levels of integrity.
Justin's natural creativity can be an influential factor in the success of a campaign as his 'out of the box thinking' is both refreshing and unique, founded in an analytical and intellectual approach to problem solving. The creative instincts Justin acts upon will continue to serve him well and as important, his clients.”

Helen Fulton

Undergraduate Admissions Officer for Aston University

“All LinkedIn membersAll LinkedIn members. I couldn’t recommend Justin enough. Not only does he give 100% to each and every project he’s worked on with me, but he’s so friendly and welcoming. I’ll miss working with him as I know that when he starts working on something, he’s putting his all in.
10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a designer, and I’m very proud to display his art in my home!”

Jonathan Colen

Digital Marketing Manager, Wesconnex. Google and CIM Certified.

“Justin has provided creative inspiration and ideas for many projects that we have collaborated on over the past for years. I always find that after a conversation with Justin, he will have suggested valuable ideas on how a campaign, event or a piece of sales/ marketing material can be designed in an engaging way, with the target audience always at the forefront of his mind.
Justin is an ideas man and whilst he takes the brief into careful consideration, he also comes up with creative concepts to help take it to the next level. This is something he has done on a consistent basis for us in our work together on various projects for Birmingham City University and STEAMhouse and I have been lucky to have been on the receiving end of praise for concepts and designs created by Justin.
Justin is also an excellent service provider for us in the way he has often delivered to tight deadlines, he communicates with us very well and is a pleasure to work with.
If you are looking for a creative mind who you can rely on, choose Justin.”

Jon Hurley

Co-founder & COO at COHO – the all-in-one HMO Management System

“I first met Justin when we were both agency side in a past life. He has an honest, good-natured, straight-talking, no-nonsene approach to life and work which led to 2 projects subsequently where I've been on the receiving end of his work as part of a client team.
Justin knows his own capabilities very well and is very skilled at what he does. Equally, he knows where he is less comfortable creatively and will not over commit or promise to do things he knows he cannot execute to his own high standards. For a lot of creative people that is a very hard skill to acquire. In my book it is just as important to know when to say no.”

Demy Lawlor

Co-Founder at Tulpa Digital | Digital and Content Marketing Specialist

“Justin is a breath of fresh air to deal with. Not only is Justin a truly lovely person but he is also an excellent communicator and most importantly, designer. The design work Justin did for us has been complemented on, with everybody a little jealous of what we've achieved by working with Justin! I thought events stand design was stressful prior to this, but Justin showed me it definitely doesn't have to be that way.
Do not worry about Justin being remote! It's some of the best design work I have ever coordinated and that was all because of Justin's fantastic communication skills.
I really hope we continue to work together for years to come and would recommend Justin in a heartbeat.”

Jennifer Richards

Organization Transformation Manager @ Project Management Institute |
Prosci® Certified Change Practitioner | Change and Culture Leader

“I gave Justin a conceptual, difficult brief along with a big list of things I didn’t want. A few other designers had looked at the brief and none had quite “got it”
We worked together through email and phone calls and he quickly understood what I was looking for. I dread giving designers’ feedback but Justin was so easy to work with on changes and amends. He took time to deconstruct my feedback and turn it into positive steps forward.
I’m so pleased with the logo he designed for my business. It has everything I wanted, plus more thanks to Justin’s suggestions. I get positive feedback on the logo all the time.
Justin and I have never met face to face, but he’s so helpful and hard-working I know I’ve made a business connection I’ll work with over and over.”

Ash Collyer

“I have worked with Justin on a variety of projects over the past few months with Rhino Interiors Group and must say that his quality of work and attention to detail is second to none. From initial concept, through to complete artwork, Justin picked up the essence of our brand very quickly, added value over and above what we had originally hoped for, and has has been a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for remote creative support.”

Charlotte Kerr

Senior Brand Manager

“Justin is an incredibly talented designer who goes beyond the brief you give him to deliver extra value. It's clear he's a creative director and not just a designer – with a keen eye for detail and the strategy behind the design, as well as just the work itself. He's great to work with, understands what you are trying to do and always meets deadlines. Would highly recommend him.”

Liz Garnett

Choral Clinician, Close-Harmony Arranger & Performance Coach

“Justin produced a logo for my choir. Not only was it visually very appealing and professionally produced, but it carried real depth of meaning. His approach showed great insight into and empathy with the artistic aims and aspirations of the choir, and the work he produced not only represents us well to the world, but has increased the pride and confidence of the singers in what they do. We are all very impressed with him!”

Andrew Wishart

“Justin has many strengths as a creative, but it is his ability to quickly grasp the key challenges of a client brief and deliver a first class solution time and time again that makes him stand out from the crowd. He's also a pleasure to work with. Just be prepared to be spoilt for choice though when it comes to choosing which solution to run with!”

Elias Markopoulos

“I have worked with Justin on many projects over the past 5 years and he has never failed to impress with his creativity, reliability and professionalism. Justin's knowledge and experience in print and digital design is invaluable. If you're looking for someone to consistently exceed expectations then Justin is the creative you are looking for. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“I connected with Justin via LinkedIn when I put out a plea for a logo re-design.. Amazingly he managed to nail the re-design perfectly with his first attempt - that's not easy! Not only that, he went above and beyond what I had initially asked him to help with and most importantly.. I found him to be a really authentic and genuinely nice human being, that goes a long way. Would absolutely recommend.”

Emma Wagstaff

“I worked with Justin on the XL: Forty years of the Super Bowl Opus. Justin is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's easy-going and was a great mentor to me. He has a 'no-problem' attitude and a great passion for what he does, which ultimately brings a positive atmosphere to any working environment.
Justin has a great eye for detail and presents perfection in all that he produces. His friendly, approachable manor made it very easy to work alongside him on the project in which we did. Brimming with new ideas, he always kept a project alive.
I'd recommend Justin to everyone as he's a great person to know and will always deliver with high standards.”

Joanne Delo MCIM

Quality, value, talented = try him, and you WON'T be disappointed.”

I have had the pleasure of commissioning work from Justin for 18 months while I was Club Products Manager at CCC.

“During that time Justin has demonstrated his exceptional creativity and ability to develop a brief from concept through to campaign. His attention to detail is second to none and he takes pride in delivering projects on time and within budget. Amongst his numerous projects Justin was instrumental in developing a new format brochure for the business and the results have been striking with positive feedback being received from the Client team and customers.
Working with Justin is a real pleasure and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to make a difference to their business.”

 Rachael Pearson

Head of Marketing & Digital

“Justin is a Creative Director in every sense of the word. We have worked closely together now for just under 12 months and in that time he has helped us breathe a new lease of life into our brand.
Justin provides creative concepts that look at the whole picture, always thinking of something new and how it can integrate both offline and online. Let him know what you are trying to achieve and he will come up with the creative to do so. Every time I get an email with concepts or artwork from Justin, I get excited because he constantly delivers, it’s like he has jumped in my brain, taken what I wanted and then made it 100 times better!
His work is of superior quality and his attention to detail is second to none. A constant professional who is focused on results, he tackles every project no matter how big or small with real energy and inspires those working with him.
The only question you need to ask when thinking of working with Justin is when he can start!”

Louise Egan

“Working with Justin as an Intern really helped to guide and shape my own professional ambitions. We worked on several projects together and Justin's feedback, enthusiasm and encouragement definitely helped me to grow and become more confident in my own ability and ideas. He always knows the right amount of advice to give whilst allowing originality and freedom of expression which in turn allowed me to generate my own copy and concepts to complement his. I look forward to working with Justin again.”

Rachel Roberts

“Justin is a thoughtful designer, with a great eye for detail and the bigger picture, who brings enthusiasm and good ideas to everything he does.”

Robert Dzartah

Graphic Designer/Creative

“Justin is a creative that knows his craft and lets his work speak for him. His work ethic displays a humility that is sometimes lacking in this industry, which leads me to term him an 'old school' perfectionist, in that he listens. This is a very important part of a designers skill set and affords a greater understanding of a clients needs.
Having worked with him then coming to the realisation that our views on design and life in general mirrored each other, it was easy to see that in Justin, you have an individual who is dedicated to his profession and to achieving the highest standards possible.”
