Get to know Gary
I started out in graphic design with a particular interest in branding, but as I gained experience across several branding agencies, I became increasingly fascinated by web design. That combination of interests eventually led me to Trio, where I now have the opportunity to work across both branding and web.

Experience
Gary retrained as a graphic designer in 2011 after a decade of experience in customer facing sales and account management roles. Since then he has worked for creative agencies large and small, from global sports branding to boutique branding, web and digital marketing. And also worked for himself as a freelancer for 2 years. During this time he has worked on projects for corporate clients such as FIFA, NHS, Deloitte and University of Cambridge as well as many SME’s and start ups.
“Great web design is the balance between aesthetics and functionality — it should tell a brand’s story while making every click intuitive.”
