Ian Birkett

Great designer and a real asset to the company. I had the pleasure of working with Chris for 4 years firstly as a freelance designer and then as a permanent member of the team. Chris consistently delivered top quality designs and was also an great to work with, always enthusiastic and always ready to dive in and help out no matter what the challenge was. I highly recommend him.

Rae Blackmore

Regardless of a project demands and/or stresses, Chris remains positive and a pleasure to work with. He is always up for a challenge, and is an asset to any team!

Chris worked at Corporate Culture as associate creative director until 2022. He's a talented designer and personally helped me in the design of two key reports in 2021 The Human Organisation and Innovation for Everyone. Equally of value is his personality - positive, helpful, willing, human, curious and great at listening both to a brief to get under the skin and to colleagues as an empathetic friend and colleague.

An integral part of this was the ability to communicate effectively and interpret a client’s needs combined with the ability to transform those requirements into a practical solution. The process of direct client communication allowed me to generate an appropriate solution, whether print or web based, that will correspond to the client’s requirements.

      My role at Benson's was to take display and design concepts, through costing, to production. Benson's produced a very wide range of display and graphic products and following site meetings from a broad client base, it was my role to take their requirements and produce a visually appealing solution in combination with one that could actually be realised from suitable materials.
