ABOUT


About My name is Dave Ashby, a multi-disciplined graphic designer living in Bristol, who builds creative and inspiring stuff.

It's my view that every brief I receive is unique and needs serious thought and discussion before simply deciding "Eureka!, a direct-mail would do best for you here". This means I create solutions for problems that do exactly what you need! I am able to create whole campaigns single handed using a range of media from print to online and even mobile.

I love what I do and get most excited when dealing with graphic design, illustration, animation, web design, games, and usability. I've worked for several large design agencies (as well as some small ones), but currently work for myself, doing whatever it takes to achieve great results.



I first started my journey into the fantastic world of design over 12 years ago when I first studied graphic design to get my national diploma back in my home town of Luton. I then moved to Swindon to grab my BA(Hons) degree (first-class) in graphic design and my first taste of the West Country.

After gathering more and more experience in different companies and agencies, I moved to Bristol in the summer of 2004 and have never looked back.

After working for various employers, I came to the conclusion that one job role is never enough for me as I like to use all of my skills, which is hard to do in a print only agency for instance. I started building creative projects such as Versus Illustration and my clothing brand RobotAliens in my free time to satisfy my creative needs and found I really enjoyed creating them.

I now want to focus my career on using my skills and knowledge to work for myself, and build great things for my clients (like you!). Have a look at my work so I can prove to you my love and ability to create inspiring results. Don't be afraid to simply say hello by email, phone or on social networks, as I'm always in the mood to talk design.

Hope to talk to you soon!
Dave
