Bigtop started in 2000 on a dining room table. We’ve grown a little bit since, but not too much – we’re now a professional team of four designers with a proper office and a nice coffee machine.
We do lots. Lots and lots of different things. Probably the best way to see what we do is to look at one of our services. The recent examples of work will hopefully convince you that we’re your right choice of design company.
I'm a small, bald, northern graphic designer, illustrator and photographer. I like cheese and crackers, composting and holidays in Cornwall. General hobbies include cycling along country lanes, feeding garden birds, playing the ukulele and starting small fires.
I couldn't live without... swimming, people, shapes, colours, symmetry, inspiration, cooking, bikes, sun, trains, John Deeres, Grimes, Dirty Projectors, cakes, camping, Drive, Buffalo 66, Stranger Things, picnics, change, Goodhood, Paul Harnden, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
I like riding my bike, Giffords Circus, taking render off stone walls, vintage fabrics, making clothes, Lily and Joe, Harry my Morris Minor, the sea, Rebecca, Jeff Buckley and summer evenings in the garden with a bottle of wine.
When I'm not working I like stumbling across new music, gardening, love going to gigs and festivals, fishing for big carps and eating cheese.
