ABOUT.
Hello! I'm Andrew, a multidisciplinary designer based in Dubai.

/ The Journey
Different disciplines.
One enduring curiosity.
Designing since2007Still looking closer.
I’ve been designing since 2007. Along the way, I’ve moved between graphic design, branding, packaging, marketing communication and digital experiences.
From hospitality and food & beverage to consumer products, each project has offered a different perspective. The work keeps evolving; visual communication and typography remain at its heart.

Good work is rarely a solo effort. I’m grateful to the talented people and teams I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside throughout these projects.

/ A Thing for Letters
Small details.
Distinct personalities.
Alongside commercial design, I draw typefaces. It’s a way to explore form, systems and detail — and how a collection of letters finds its own voice.
02 / Structure & clarity
Bright Grotesk
A geometric typeface exploring structure, clarity and contemporary expression.
03 / A different voice
Chiq
A more expressive typeface with a distinct personality. Another way of thinking about what a letter can be.
05
/ Beyond the Screen
A different kind
of rhythm.
When I’m not designing, there’s a good chance I’m behind a drum kit, or somewhere nearby with a bass or guitar. Music is another creative outlet — a different way to explore rhythm, structure and expression.
