Bio
Jordan Joshua Lewis
Smit was an innovative, calming and highly respected addition to the Marketing team during his stint with SHG, where he covered a Graphic Designer on secondment. While there’s no secret formula to being a top graphic designer, there are certain traits that make designers stand out and Smit has them in bucket-loads: determination, curiosity, reliability, finger on the pulse and his 70,000+ followers on Instagram to keep everyone in awe probably helped too… Smit’s helped transform many of the visuals across SHG's different companies via digital, printed material, OOH advertising and more - and he worked under pressure with a genuine smile on his face. Many people across SHG are sad to see Smit leaving the workplace which shows how much impact he made across a large organisation, in such a short space of time!

Starting off as a self taught hobby, I now get many commissions for clients all around the UK. Dry brushing is the style i use to paint the pictures which give a soft airbrushed fell to them. Developing my skills through painting have carried on into my design work with a particular attention to detail.
