I’m John Cartwright, a down-to-earth freelance graphic designer living in beautiful South Wales. I absolutely love what I do! With a blend of digital and traditional skills that I've picked up over the years, I'm passionate about creating graphic solutions that help businesses and messaging stand out, not just locally but also across the UK and beyond.
While I appreciate and use AI as a tool, I believe genuine human insight is essential for meaningful design. I start each project by understanding its purpose and audience, focusing on intentional creativity that brings your vision to life and helps you achieve your goals.

Everyone at our Kick-Off Conference was raving about the binders. We had a few senior execs from our New York office and when they went on stage they brought the binder with them and mentioned how impressed they were!
CH Strategic Marketing Manager
Thank you for listening to clients initial brief in a meeting and popping out of the meeting, only to return later with a range of sketches to discuss. That put the client at ease knowing that they had selected the right events partner.

[John] has always made himself part of the team and involved himself in all aspects of a brief. His understanding of the creative process and his ability to work on his own initiative make him a valued designer.
