Bio
Chris Dessent
Sam is a graphic designer who has the right combination of skills and an ability to think through a creative challenge from start to finish. He has a good attention to detail and is a real team player. Sam follows a brief and delivers the goods but isn't afraid to bring new creative ideas to the table.
Philip Brown
Sam was asked to help us out in our attempts to disseminate an important piece of research on homelessness in an innovative way. The brief given to Sam was to design a graphic novel based on our findings from our project. Even though the brief was ambigous and our reserach team had little experience of working with the creative sector the relationship could not have been better. Sam produced exemplary work which quickly gained recognition within our organisation and across our networks. Sam was punctual in his deliverables, extremely personable and always willing and able to go the extra mile. The end product has been received to great acclaim within the academic and homelessness sectors. I would be extremely keen to work with Sam again on other projects.
