Bio
Phil Garnham
Blair is a creative director that delivers engaging, clear and direct visual communication. He has a conscientious understanding of the graphic landscape and curates his ideas into clearly defined concepts. As type director at Fontsmith, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Blair and his team in creating our font launch specimens which demand a high-level of typographic understanding and detailing. Blair is a superb conceptual thinker, he develops broad overarching ideas and leads his team at Believe In to create and implement their projects seamlessly across both print and online media. He takes much pride in his work, seeing every project through to the end, meticulously checking every detail. I highly recommend Blair to any prospective Believe In clients.

I have worked with Blair for a number of years now, both as a customer and supplier. The design work he does is always of the highest quality and the way it is presented is testiment to his attention to detail. I chose Blair to help with some of our company branding which has lead him to be as passionate about our brand as we are. He genuinely believes in what he does and will cover every angle to ensure he get's maximum impact from every project he gets involved in.
