  • Very swift designer

    “I hired Derek on a freelance basis as part of a team handling a large amount of artwork, production and retouching. I was immediately impressed by Derek’s skill, speed and flexibility.

    He got on really well with everyone involved in the process and remained perfectly calm even when the pressure was intense. Derek brought a good eye and equally good ideas and techniques to the work. He was always prepared to take on new challenges and demonstrated an ability to pick things up very swiftly.”

    Robert Smith, Managing & Creative Director - Jog

  • Always kept informed

    “Derek is a brilliant designer who created my company website.

    I knew very little about web designing, so he was in control of the whole process. From the initial concept design to the up-and-running of the site, everything went extremely smoothly. He is a good communicator and explained things in a simple and clear way, keeping me well-informed throughout the whole process.”

    Lina Zhang, Director - Sino Communications

  • Highly recommended!

    “It was great working with Derek! He helped us in a time of need and would definitely use him again in the future.

    Overall, we were very happy with his professionalism and the quality of his work. Highly recommended!”

    Vasso Georgiou, Marketing Manager - Marketing Town

  • Goes the extra mile...

    “You will find Derek an extraordinarily pro-active and knowledgeable creative designer. He has the ability to understand the brief and deliver it with precision and accuracy in every case.

    He was also a valuable team member willing to go that extra mile whilst under pressure but at the same time very committed to the project and people he was working with.”

    Michelle Habgood, Senior Traffic Manager

  • Awesome Rabbit!

    “Derek is an awesome designer! What more can I say? Always exceeding our expectations for the design team, a great collaborator, very technical and hard working to meet hard deadlines.”

    Nichole Johnson, Director - Rusty Rabbit

  • A rock in the dept...

    “Derek was a rock in a department that was constantly under pressure to deliver. The work rarely needed a second pass and if it did it was due to the quality of the brief, not the work.

    I would gladly work with Derek again. Not only was the work of consistent quality, but he was also a good team player. He was great to have around.”

    Phil Woolgrove, Web Content Manager - T M LEWIN
