I’m an experienced, creative and innovative senior graphic designer/ director. With over 18 years professional design and branding experience, I have delivered projects for some well known commercial firms, including several listed on the FTSE 100. My background includes design experience in: Property; Legal Services; Financial Services; Accountancy; Oil & Gas; Hospitality; Photography and Film.

I have extensive bid design experience, especially in Commercial Property and Legal Services, producing successful, quality B2B pitch documents/brochures and presentations helping to secure some multi-million pound contracts.

Working alone or as part of a team, I have a proven track record of delivering often complex design projects, on-time and on budget for top-flight businesses. I’m not ‘just a designer’, I bring a multitude of relevant and associated skills to the table, from team project management, content advice, proof-reading, print management to ideas generation.

I have a passion for music, photography, and architecture. I was the bassist with Outside Royalty, who amongst other things, supported The Cranberries on a European Tour.

As a photography graduate, I have recently started to offer commercial architectural photography as an offshoot to my design capabilities (Paul Rigel Photography).

All of these passions in some way contribute to the way I work and the way I tackle visual communications.

I’m the sole Director of Pie & Mash Design, a small but exceptional graphic design and branding studio, catering for corporate, professional and specialist businesses. I create beautiful, contemporary print and digital design for a wide variety of marketing products, working alongside businesses and supporting them as an integrated, virtual extension of their team.

I believe in building long-term relationships with clients, and strive to provide a first class service day-in, day-out and seek to understand who my clients really are, and the visual language best fitting to each of them. I’ve worked with many high-calibre clients, some of whom are listed below (more on the Pie & Mash Design website).

London Stock Exchange Group
DLA Piper
UHY Hacker Young
Oslo Bors
DTZ (now Cushman & Wakefield)
GL Hearn (Capita)
Daniel Watney LLP
Association of Corporate Treasurers
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

My expertise enables me to breathe new life into my client’s marketing materials, whether bringing together the very best of their existing brand framework, or re-imagining their brand in its entirety.

I pride myself in perfecting the minutiae, working efficiently and accurately and making designs feel effortless to navigate and read.

I’m a very competent communicator, and lead and encourage my clients to streamline workflow, especially under tight deadlines (such as with pitch design).
