Before you can ever motivate, influence or inspire, you must connect first.
Let's take a look at some connections I have made.

Samsung EMEA
DESIGN / VISUALISATION / FULL-CREATIVE OUTPUT
MURRAY ALLEN, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Carl is one of the most versatile, thoughtful and dedicated designers I have worked with. He is genuinely artistically talented in so many fields – as evidenced by his inspiring array of Instagram feeds (you should check them out) – that I am loath to mention his exceptional lettering skills alone.
You can throw anything at him and he'll make something really good from it. His infectious pursuit of all things creative also makes him a beneficial voice in any working team... in a word, great.
A rare beast indeed.
Carl is not only a terrific guy, but also a terrific designer. He has the ability to make a good idea look amazing. His skills, ability and genuine love for good design, means he stand head and shoulders above most others. Plus, and perhaps more importantly, he's happy to get the beers in!
I can’t recommend him enough.

CREATIVE / DESIGN / VISUALISATION
RICHARD HARTLE, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT GEOMETRY
A quick hand and a dry wit. Carl's a pleasure to have involved on any creative project. His talent for crafting striking visuals which amplify creative concepts and his willingness to collaborate and both give-and-take direction is exemplary. I'd encourage you to let him get his crafty hands onto your projects asap.

I enjoy putting pen to paper to get initial thinking down, to aid development within the team.

Carl truly loves what he does and this is evident in every piece of work he touches - he goes above and beyond always pushing to make the work the best it can be. He is a brilliant typographer, has a great design sensibility and is lightening fast. On top of this great talent he is also a nice guy and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Side hustle.
HAND-LETTERING / CANVAS PAINTING PROJECTS
With lettering, and that noble art of conveying copy has evolved through the ages but the essence of 'scripture' runs through all I do in terms of flow and spirit.
